It's been called the granddaddy of all pop culture urban legends. Sync a Pink Floyd album to a classic film at exactly the right moment, and over a hundred coincidences supposedly reveal themselves. Which movie do fans claim syncs with "The Dark Side of the Moon"?

I'll admit, hearing "Great Gig in the Sky" while the tornado lands in Kansas is a little weird. But if the "Dark Side of the Rainbow" theory were true, you'd think everyone could agree on the most basic part. Some fans say you press play on the first MGM lion roar, others the second, but most insist it has to be the third. And even if you nail the timing, the album is only 43 minutes long, so you have to loop it 2.5 times to cover "The Wizard of Oz." Every member of Pink Floyd has dismissed the theory, though drummer Nick Mason at least had fun with it, claiming the album was actually synced to "The Sound of Music."
