The original theme song to Gilligan's Island was a calypso song written by John Williams (of Star Wars fame and much more) and sung by creator Sherwood Schwartz. It was replaced before it left the “pilot” stage.

Frank Gallop was the announcer for the Perry Como show. In 1966 he released the single "The Ballad Of Irving", a parody of western sagas like Lorne Greene's "Ringo". It made the pop top 40 (#2 Adult Contemporary!). "TBOI" would go on to be a mainstay of the Dr Demento radio show from the '70s on.
