The Wizard of Oz and Pink Floyd

I was watching the Wizard of Oz this past sunday and I remembered something from my teenage years.
I can recall hearing on more than one occasion that if you played Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon at the exact time that the movie starts, that the two will in effect play in simultaneous fashion, song for song, scene for scene. Or, rather, song for scene or scene for song.
If this is true, Alan Parsons and the boys were fans of the movie to the extent that no adult male has any business with.
Is this an urban legend (as I believe) or does any one have any insight? I will come clean right now: I have tried it, but I was a teen, years ago. No success.
I also believe there is an exact moment as to when you need to simultaneously start both.
Any thoughts, Dorothy?

Ahh come on guys (and girls)! I thought this was all for fun!

The match is coincidence but SO WHAT! There are so many perfect "coincidences" that you should do it atleast once. (Especially puffed).

My favourite is when the munchkens start dancing perfectly in time to Us And Them. You can't beat it. btw - Start the CD upon the lion's third roar at the beginning of the movie.

Someone once gave me a scripted protocol for use with a laser disc for this purpose. I'm sure I still have it somewhere. I never bothered doing it though.

It's a lot of fun, even without partaking of any "spiritual condiments." I demonstrated it last month for some friends and it had the happy benefit of one guy exclaiming, "Geez, I'd forgotten what a great album this is."
