I was listening to the radio the other day and they were giving
music celebrity facts. One of the facts they said had something to do with
the fact that Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon could be played as a soundtrack
to The Wizard Of Oz. They also mentioned that Willy Wonka and London Calling
with also closely related. So I decided to check it out for myself. The
following are my "connection" results combined with another fellows results. He goes
by the name of Mike, he was very
helpful and he posts up on the London's Burning noticeboard.
rhythm of the factory equiptment
matches the beat in London Calling
"Now get this" from London Calling when candystore
guy shows new bar
"Give me a smile" said
in London Calling. This example was the one given on the radio. When that
is said, some kids in Bill's candy store smile.
when the kids in the candy store are grabbing
Lollipops the rhythm matches
"Sugar" said during some
song or other. It's said just as that Bill guy starts to throw things that
look like marshmallows on all the children.
the same guitar note
every time Charlie throws a newspaper
drumsticks as WONKA sign
is lighting up outside of the factory
"cut off his ears and
chop off his head" from Jimmy Jazz. This part in Willy Wonka is when that
man with the cart of knives and sharp weapons commonly used in the kitchen
is talking to Charlie and looking sinister.
the "anything I want"
chorus from Hateful when the Wonka bars are being distributed
"go out again" from Hateful
when Charlie leaves.
"sing Michael sing" from
the beginning of Rudie Can't Fail. Some guy in the film is talking with his
psychiatrist, but when you put the volume down real low it looks like he
is singing.
"wont buy a hat" from
Rudie Can't Fail. Here Charlie gets a scarf for his birthday.... but no
hat!
"oh please leave the
vendana open" from Spanish Bombs. Vendana is a window in Spanish and at
this point Mr Salt opens his window from his office to his factories to
yell at his workers.
"I'm flying in on a DC-10
tonight." from Spanish Bombs. Wonka Bars get unloaded from a Pan Am night
flight
"her face in the sun..."
from The Right Profile. At this point in the movie Violet is on TV talking
about her gum and how she got the Golden Ticket. Its really really sunny
where she is standing.
"sure looks funny..."
said in The Right Profile. Here Charlie starts to whine about he
wants a golden ticket and how he is different. Not because I think he looks
funny, but because he talks about how his life is shit and all that.
"lost in the supermarket"
I dont have to say the name of the song. Charlie starts walking around
being poor and sad.
"anger can be power"
from Clampdown. Some rich lady at this point flips and starts yelling.
Again, when you turn down the volume she looks very intimidating.
"shot down on the pavement"
from The Guns of Brixton. Charlie starts walking all sad again.
"The money feels good."
from The Guns of Brixton Charlie finds money in the gutter that makes him feel good.
Guns of Brixton ends
when Charlie finds the golden ticket
At the point in the song
Wrong 'Em Boyo when the song starts over much more upbeat, Charlie
starts running like mad. Goes quite nicely if you ask me.
"you betta stop" from
Wrong Em Boyo. That Slugworth guy appears out of no where and stops Charlie
on the street.
"You like, steal, cheat
and deceit... Don't you know it's wrong?" from Wrong 'Em Boyo. The evil
character Slugworth tries to finagle Charlie's Golden Ticket.
music flares when everyone
gets happy
music changes when grandpa
walks
In The Cards Cheat, when
the trumpets start, Willy Wonka starts walking on his red carpet. This
also goes great.
"he wont be alive for
long" from The Card Cheat. This is when that chubby German kid meets Willy
Wonka and shakes his hand. The Clash were obviously making reference to
the fact he was going to downed in chocolate or atleast be killed on impact
cause of that pressure thing in the next couple of scenes. (Wonka says
he wasnt killed but I dissagree)
Grandpa looks really
down during "down" part in I'm not down
"will she forget that
name she has" from something or other. Veruca Salt begins to sign that
big contract at the Wonka factory.
"food for thought monsters"
We are all introduced to those frightening OompaLoompa people.... and they
are talking about food! Not to mention there is also a discussion about their existance going on shortly after.
"I'm in a state of shock"
from Revolution Rock is said when the fat kid falls into the pool of chocolate
"said you felt trapped"
from Train in Vain. People start flipping out because they go into that
tunnel with the chicken's heads being cut off etc.
