Yeah, what was that all about?  
I just recently saw a copy of _the Wizard of Oz_ with _Dark Side of the Moon_ playing as the soundtrack.  
What on og’s green world was that all about?  
It really didn’t make any sense whatsoever.

That’s the Dark Side of the Moon thing, not a link to the missing tapes, btw.

“I have got that stuff.”

Huh? Who talks like that? I’d be all “Holy shit! Is there a reward?”

Still doesn’t make any sense to me, Why would somebody even try this?  
I bet I can take any random movie and put a completely unrelated piece of music under it and look, wow, at scene 34 when somebody blinks, somebody hits a cymbal in the music !!  
What a coincidence, they must have made this music for this movie !

Give it up, buddy. I know you’re frustrated but you’re **way** late about this. Me and my buddies got really excited about this in Jr. High and then were pretty let-down when we tried it and realized how stupid it was.

It was all the rage for awhile.

That would’ve been, oh, 'round about 13 years ago.
