2. Now, all the accordances between "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Wizard of Oz" end at the end of the film, so you must replay the album about two and a half times. One of the first coincidences occurs when Dorothy is balancing on a fence as the line "Balanced on the biggest wave" comes. What song is that line taken out of?

4. In the film "The Wizard of Oz", there is a scene where Dorothy is running away from Professor Marvel's gypsy stand. This scene also features the mighty tornado, which wrecks havoc in Kansas. At the end of the scene we see Dorothy being whisked away to Munchkin Land. Now, if you sync up this scene with the album "Dark Side of the Moon", what song will be playing?
5. When Dorothy meets the Wicked Witch of the West in the movie, the song "Us and Them" from the Pink Floyd album "Dark Side of the Moon" starts up. In this famous scene from "The Wizard of Oz", there are a lot of coincidences, mainly dealing with Dorothy and the Witch. Which of the following coincidences do not occur?
6. The song "Brain Damage" is a great piece of music, and is heard when we meet the Scarecrow in "The Wizard of Oz" if you sync up the two. When the line "the lunatic is on the grass" is heard, we see the Scarecrow. Though he may not be on the grass, the Scarecrow is certainly made of it. Also he is doing something that makes the line sync up even more. What is he doing?
7. In the film "The Wizard of Oz", Dorothy and the Scarecrow meet another main character, the Tin Man.

8. Pink Floyd's masterpiece album "Wish You Were Here" is a classic in its own right. But thanks to some people who don't have lives, we have discovered that "Wish You Were Here" synced up with another great film, "It's a Wonderful Life". Who famous actor plays the part of George Bailey in the film?
9. When "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Wish You Were Here" are synced, we realize that the lyrics are more coincidental to the film's actions then the music. For example, when we are treated to a flashback of George Bailey's life, we see that it doesn't matter either he's either a kid or young man, he talks about plans to travel, go to college, and build great things. All that can be summed up into the line "remember when you were young; you shone like the sun" from a part in the song "Shine On You Crazy Diamond". What part of the song can these lyrics be found in?
10. One of the greatest rock songs of all-time, "Wish You Were Here", can be referenced to what George Bailey and his sweetheart, Mary, are thinking. During the scene when "Wish You Were Here" is playing, Mary and George are standing outside of an abandoned house where they are making wishes. True or false: Mary "wishes" that George was "here" living with her in the abandoned house.
