SOTT/Wizard Of Oz

just thought Id repos this for sng's since it the 30th anniversary :Kanye shrug:

I've always felt that SOTT should have been titled (or at least was a homage to) OZ.The reason is because there's so many Wizard of Oz type references. Dorothy Parker (Dorothy), the affliction brought on by a witches curse(wicked witch of the west), Princes high Camille munchkin voice on songs like If I Was Your Girlfriend, You Got The Look etc. And of course the obvious "oh we oh, oh oh's" from It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night which were what the wicked witches' henchmen sang in Wizard Of Oz.

Not to mention the cover art which has a crystal ball as a centerpiece (like the crystal ball the wicked witch used in Oz). Play in the Sunshine also talks about a big white rabbit so I guess he added a little Alice in Wonderland to the mix too. Maybe he wrote it as a soundtrack to be played along with WIZARD OF OZ just like Pink Floyd allegedly did with their Dark Side Of The Moon album back in the day?

After all Prince did like to make "answer" albums of previous rock gods(Purple Rain=Hendrix, ATWIAD=the Beatles, SOTT=Pink Floyd, etc) not to mention the Pink Floyd like sounds in the song IT. Also the line in Strange Relationship, where he says "Isn't it a shame this aint a movie...". Plus the fact that his face is Wicked Witch of The West green color on the cover of the album and cd. All in all the cd, album Sign of The Times is a sexy, adult version of Wizard Of Oz, or so it seems

I thought this was going to be a thread about synching the album SOTT to the movie Wizard Of Oz.

Was all set to say "No! You're thinking of Dark Side Of The Moon".

But, no.

lol lol lol lol

We were joking about that strange link back in 1987-88

Also at the last celebration "Xenophobia" 2002, he made that speech about "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" direct quote form the movie about the illusionary part of putting on the show. He went on to add "You are all the man behind the curtain."

madhouseman	That is a very interesting way of looking at that. I'm going to listen to it again with this in mind. Thanks for the heads up. The expanded version of my book PRINCE and The Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions 1983-1984 was released in November 2018.

In the film Cat asks why a lion is dressed like a lamb. They faint right? Cowardly Lion reference.

What?

"You Got the Look?"

One Wizard of Oz reference.

The rest is an overactive imagination.

Yes, it is U Got the Look.

Hence, my question for the original poster who talks of the song "You Got the Look?"

Honestly, though, why hasn't anyone started SOTT when the lion roars, and play them to see if anything syncs up a la Dark Side Of The Moon. LOL
