    This is "Bango" from the original group who sang the original theme song and appeared as the Mosquitos here. We wrote this original song and I this is a hoot! Over 50 years since filming this and we are still alive and relevant. Thanks for the fun and a great rendition of our song. Kirby (Irving) would be very happy with this! I'll let Bongo (Ed) know about this! Warm regards to all who have enjoyed this show! Dr. George Patterson, The Wellingtons, AKA The Mosquitos. Thanks for the tribute to Kirby…our musical brains!

    In the book "Here on Gilligan's Isle" written by Russell Johnson (the "Professor") and Steve Cox it was noted that the Wellingtons' (the group that sang the opening theme and played the "Mosquitoes") did not receive any residuals when this episode played in reruns. However, they did belong to the music union (BMI) and they were entitled to royalties for the two songs they sang in this episode. When Kirby Anderson ("Irving") called about 20 years later they found out they were entitled to as they said a "tidy sum" of money

    i always wondered about that song, if there was just those few lines, or if the show didn't want to put three songs in the episode (including the Honeybees) so they cut off the first one. Thanks for giving me the chance to hear it all. (should have been a 60's hit.)

    After "Rescue From Gilligan's Island", the next tv movie should have been about the Skipper searching out the members of this group so he could beat the hell out of them for not telling ANYONE that were 7 people still left on that island 15 years before.

    (Geez, don't wanna talk in 3rd person, but, Google's name consolidation policies...AAUUGGHH!) Pat Phos Martin sez: Very cool, Bill...neato to see Dr. George chiming in, too. "The Mosquitoes" were one of the first "brewed up just for an episode" I remember from my kid-in-the-'60s" TV watching, and they were part of the impetus into my believing: "HEY! I'd like to have a job like that when I grow up!" Cheers to Bill Funt, and to The Wellingtons.

    Were the songs Don't bug me and Hes a loser ever been recorded ? Is this version the way the whole song really goes or was it re vamped? I also loved the instrumental background music in that episode at the begining.Would love to hear the original full versions of all these songs.

      JIO P I don't know of any complete recording of Don't Bug Me by The Wellingtons/Mosquitoes but perhaps one will turn up. In the meantime on the show you only ever heard the chorus so I wrote new verses and a bridge to go with it. Thanks for asking.

    I heard this exact music on several Perry Mason shows when somebody was listening to the radio. It was the mosquitoes music and the Honey Bee song. Instrumental.but it was on Perry Mason you know at least 10 years probably before the mosquitoes were on Gilligan's island so is that when you wrote the music ? was a public domain??

    • @Funtasaurus
      @Funtasaurus  Před 3 lety

      The chorus of Don’t Bug Me was written by The Wellingtons at the time of the series. I wrote the verses and bridge a few years ago. I don’t know who wrote You Need Me nor do I know if any of the music was stock music to begin with. Could you post a clip of a Perry Mason scene so there’s something to compare it to?

      They did not yet exist. And even if they had it would have been a conflict of interests since Gilligan was up against the Monkees on another network.
