"The Most Wonderful Time on Gilligan's Island" is gone

(Drat, those 3 posts above mine were NOT there when I posted.)

Here on Gilligan’s Isle!
(Okay, you know what we have to do now don’t you?)

George Wyle was also the musical director for Flip Wilson’s variety series. In one show, the guests were Roy Clark, Redd Foxx, and Petula Clark were all singing a song called “Let’s Fall in Love.” When Flip sang, he said something like:

Birds do it.
Bees do it.
Even people looking like George Wyle
[cut to Wyle directing]* do it.
Let’s do it.
Let’s fall in love*

BTW, if anyone’s interested, here are the original lyrics for the pilot episode–that wasn’t shown until almost 30 years later:

It’s interesting, but I think I like what they settled on better. Okay here goes nothing,
So this is a tail of our castaways,

So this is a tale of our castaways,

They’re here for a long, long time

They’ll have to make the best of things,

It’s an uphill climb.

The First Mate and His Skipper too, will do their very best

To make the others comfortable

In their tropic island nest.

no phone! no light! no motor car! not a single luxury…
(They’re Amish!)

Like Robinson Crusoe, it’s primitive as can be

So join us here each week, my friend

From seven stranded castaways

You’re sure to get a smile

(Sorry, wrong line! Preview is my friend!)

Here on Gilligan’s Isle!!!

You all are a bunch of GEEKS! :smiley: :wink:
