"There are plenty of legends attached to Pink Floyd.

When you've spent much of your career deliberating moving toward the fantastical and free-spirited you're bound to gather a few mysteries as you go.

This one addresses another stalwart of popular culture, The Wizard of Oz.

The theory goes that if you begin the classic album The Dark Side of the Moon as the MGM lion roars at the beginning of the 1939 film,

the album will perfectly sync and the film reflects the sentiments of the songs and vice versa.

It's unknown who actually first synced the albums together, we like to think it was a marijuana-induced miracle, but it was Charles Savage who first brought it to the public's attention.

In a piece for the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette back in 1995, Savage told the world when to press play on the CD and, in effect, provided us all with the first taste of The Dark Side of the Rainbow."

That is funny, I was just watching this Syd Barret video from 1970, complete with a 1959 Pontiac around the 2:49 mark:

I gave it a chance but i just do not see it at all. I have been a major fan of P.F. since 1973 when Dark side came out.

 I remember seeing photos of Syd lying on top of the hood of that 59 Poncho. He must have owned it and can you imagine a car that big in Britain then.

I love Pink Floyd music from day one to The Wall, a guy at work didn't know there were albums before Dark side of the moon ...

It looks to be an American 59 Poncho. That would have cost a Brit a fortune back in 1959. Syd, was a bit of a wacko and i guess that is why he had that car. To be able to operate a car like that then, meant you were rich. The very high cost of gas, repair and England's high tax on large cars. I wonder when Syd bought the car, obviously he never bought it new.

 Yes, i believe that. I became an instant fan in 1973 with Dark Side and then starting buying the previous albums that they recorded, including the obscure film theme music that they did. I always thought that Syd Barrett was way too over rated. David Gilmour joining in 1968 is what helped make that band what they became. Had Syd never left when he went insane, they would have never become the great band that they had become.

 It 's one of ours.......it's a Parisienne.

The movie Entertaining Mr Sloane (1970) has a pink Pontiac Parisienne (1959). It was a bit of a special as the car first belonged to Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd fame.
