Pink Floyd - Wizard of Oz


Dorothy and her cute doggy Toto do not try to find way home from behind the rainbow any more after an English rock band Pink Floyd gave their own version of Pink Floyd Wizard of Oz, Dark Side of the Rainbow.

Wait! Wizard of Oz, an MGM movie, was made 1939 – according to my son, in the ancient times. To be truth, Pink Floyd’s 1973 album, The Dark Side of the Moon, lies for him in the same ancient times.

Now, on the more serious note: Dark Side of the Rainbow aka Dark Side of Oz aka The Wizard of Floyd, is some sort of synchronization between classic MGM movie and Pink Floyd album. One watches the film and listens to music at the same time. Many believe that the movie and the music somehow correspond with each other.

The origin of the Dark Side of the Rainbow is quite unclear. Nobody really knows how it came to combining both works. Although there is some history of putting them together before, it was July 2000 when cable channel TCM aired the original Wizard of Oz with Dark Side of the Moon as a soundtrack.

Pink Floyd band members deny that the album was intentionally written for the Wizard of Oz and in 2002 during an MTV special, they dismissed any relationship between the two works.
