[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1114098, member: 2189"] It helps if you already like Floyd obviously but it is a fun watch at least once. And the urban legend that Floyd wrote DSOTM to Oz is not true either. It's just one of those funny odd moments when it just works. We first tired it about 20 years ago but synching the video to the audio (cd or album) is the tricky part. We used the 2nd lion roar in the film as the audio start and then after that it gets tricky on the 2nd and 3rd play. There are some scenes that are very obvious in their synchronicity but when you watch it several times more you see quick little glimpses or even a single lyric to the film's action and just chuckle. Funny how life can give us what the late American painter Bob Ross would call, "a happy little accident!" Some rainy, crappy Sunday when you got nothing to do but time to kill, put it back on and watch it again and you'll see even more than you did the first go round. The bigger question is, who was it that sat around stoned as hell watching Oz on TV with the audio off and DSOTM playing on the stereo and discovered this? :happy-very: My wife and I loved this VW commercial for the same reason cause if you've ever got a good buzz on, cruised around listening to music in the rain, you enter a world where you realize all life moves to a rhythm. People who made this commercial were boomers who came of age in the 70's. They just didn't show the part where they smoked a doobie. LOL!
