Roger in Baltimore	ADD: The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle (24)	RE: Lyr Req: The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle	04 Oct 99
And to get this back on Folk Music, I want to note that the tune for Gilligan's Isle appears to be a direct rip-off of The DAYS OF FORTY NINE. Back in my youth, I was sitting around trying to learn The Days of '49 in DADGAD and someone said to me, "Oh, you know the tune to Gilligan's Isle!" I am happy to say that I was confused by his statement because, at that time, I had never heard the tune because I had never watched the TV show. Made me feel real superior and arrogant. Still does!
