The Beatles Parody
For the first version of the Gilligan’s Island theme song, the Wellingtons sang it. Even though the show didn’t go with their version, the band got to appear on the show. Actually, they played the Mosquitoes, if you recall. The Mosquitoes were created to be a parody of none other than The Beatles.

Theme Song
The real original theme song was a calypso tune sung by the show’s creator in a Caribbean patois. Actually, John Williams, known as Johnny Williams then, composed the tune. Perhaps, you know this composer’s other work from Star Wars and numerous Steven Spielberg films.
