So we should all know about the hooplah about Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and Wizard of Oz, but are there any other ones out there?

Well this guy seems to think that Star Wars is an interesting candidate. http://starwarssynch.blogspot.com/

And indeed he seems to have found some really striking ones. Check out Alderaan Idiot. I was kind of intrigued by this myself, so I decided to try one out. I took Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and put it up with the equally triumphant album Andrew WK's "The Wolf". Well I have to say, there aren't nearly as many lyrical cues in it, but the musical ones are downright creepy. Here's a couple of really cool synchs I found:

The first track is almost the same length as the small opening credits scene and for the most part the cuts are all on beat.

When Bill and Ted are videotaping themselves, they get real close to the video camera and pump their fists, screaming "WYLD STALLYNS!" at the exact same time that Andrew WK screams "LONG LIVE THE PARTY!".

About half or a little more of the times that they play air guitar, there is a guitar solo playing, and it usually happens on beat with a note change.

This one, while not really relevant, is freaking hilarious to me. When Andrew WK first says "I wanna MAKE SEX" in the song Make Sex, Billy the Kid first appears on screen.

The whole sword fight between Bill and Ted in England is great. I'm pretty sure it starts at the same time as a guitar solo, and almost everything they do happens on beat with the song.

The fact that Beethoven almost always shows up alone on screen during a paino break is also weird.

The Historical figures causing trouble at the mall (starting with Joan of Arc) begins at the same time as a new song starts, which isn't all the impressive, but it works really well.

When Andrew WK says "We have to face our fears!" in totally stupid, Ted is confronted by his dad in the police department.

There's a bunch of other things scattered throughout, but the best one to point out is the history report. The curtains open during the feedback/fade out of the song Totally Stupid, and Billy the Kid starts talking as soon as Really in Love starts, and just about everything in that whole scene moves at the same tempo as the music.

So if you're wondering how to do this, it's actually a lot easier than most synchronization projects. Start Bill and Ted, put it on mute, keep the CD on pause at the beginning of the first track (that way you don't have to wait for the CD to be read), and then unpause the CD as soon as the first shot of the movie comes up (after the MGM and Nelson logos).

For the second playthrough: The CD should end in the scene where Bill and Ted travel to the future. Hit play on the CD as soon as the next scene starts.
