Let's everyone sing a round of the theme from Gilligan's Island

In memory of George Wyle, who co-wrote the song. He died this morning at the age of 87.

  • Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale… *

…a tale of a fateful trip…

…That started from this tropic port…

Aboard this tiny Ship

As not to violate the copyright laws of the United States of America and other countries, I will sing the first letter of each word of the song.

Well there is a set of alternate lyrics that’s on an mpeg floating around out there:
*Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale… *
That starts with a big roach clip…

Af-ter you smoke a big old joint…
it’s hard to steer a ship…

Know the version I’m talking about?
