THE WIZARD OF OZ
Oz and Rock & Roll
 
"Turn Me On, Dead Man" has explored the connection between The Wizard of Oz and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Of course, both the book and the film of The Wizard of Oz were produced well before the development of rock & roll. But that hasn't kept this story from exerting a powerful influence over popular music in recent years. Below is a list of songs referencing The Wizard of Oz. This list is by no means complete and I invite you to contribute additions to the list. If you know of a song that makes reference to The Wizard of Oz email it to me at Oz@TurnMeOnDeadMan.net or use the form at the bottom of this page.
