Now Playing: Every appliance in your house
You've probably heard about the weird connection between Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon"and The Wizard of Oz. If you cue up Dark Side of the Moon, and push "Play" right as the MGM lion roars for the third time, a series of astonishing and remarkable coincidences unfold between the screen and the music. I've tried this myself, and it's reeeeeeeally freeeeeeeeaky.
So that got me to wondering: what sort of music might lend synchronicity to David movies?
Here are some suggested combinations to spice up your viewing experience:
Molokai/"Black Coffee" by Heavy D & The Boyz
Black coffee, no sugar, no cream/That's the kind of girl I need down with my team raps Heavy D, as Father Damien shouts his confession to the Bishop from a dinghy. Far out, man. Pass the Cheetos.
The Two Towers/"Candy Man" by Sammy Davis Jr.
Who can take a rainbow...wrap it in a sigh? Faramir, of course.
Three Dollars/"Blister In The Sun" by The Violent Femmes
If you time this just right, Eddie will appear to walk down the street as the Violent Femmes sing "When I'm walking, I strut my stuff..." Plus: "My girlfriend, she's at the end, she's starting to cry". It's like they wrote the whole song while watching Three Dollars.
Van Helsing/Schumann's "Diechterliebe"
Nothing overlaps here. Let's move on.
Dust/"Blinded By The Light"
For a complicated plot, choose an incomprehensible song. What could be more fitting than to watch Luke collect flesh wounds while Manfred Mann sings "Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot/And some bloodshot forget-me-not said daddy's within earshot, save the buckshot..."
Cosi/a kitchen blender
Wow! Push "Puree" right as Doug starts rapping. The rhythm is exactly in synch. Totally weird.
Better Than Sex/your car's left turn signal
Sit in the car with a portable DVD player and push down on the turn signal lever just as Josh starts up the monologue about his girlfriend back in London. Josh will appear to be saying "TINK-a...TINK-a....TINK-a...." If you want, you can honk the horn too.
