Stairway to Gilligan

[Brian]

After hearing about Gilligan (Bob Denver) passing away recently, I reminisced about hearing a song that a perfect fusion of the lyrics to Gilligans Island, sung to the music of "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zepplin. The song is called, "STAIRWAY TO GILLIGAN".

I first heard this song performed by a comedian at a show in Vegas almost 17 years ago. I was completely STUNNED!! I thought the comedian was a musical genius! But after searching Google I found out that "Little Roger and the Goosebumps" made this funny cover song back in the 1970's.

If you have REAL player you can listen to the song HERE. I dont have REAL player. I friggin hate it with a passion, and BEWARE registering for the FREE version requires giving credit card information.

There is a lot of information out there on the internet about this song. Such as... Robert Plant considered "Stairway to Gilligan" the best cover of Stairway to Heaven!

Anyway, I thought this post was deserving of my 'one post per month' average.

Cheers!

PS If you have this song in a viable format please PM me.

Hey, it's Brian! I love your monthly visits...I time my monthly baths around them.

I don't have Real Player, so I couldn't listen to it from your link. I did find it here and I was highly amused. People never cease to amaze me with their creativity. Of course I also love the Weird Al Flinstones/Red Hot Chili Peppers song, so obviously my sense of humor is very forgiving.

Hey Brian,

Try #5 on this list.

Stairway To Gilligan's Island is also available on an obscure CD called Laguna Tunes (2000, rare and very pricey).

It's the distinctive feature of that collection of mostly humdrum material from Joan Jett's longtime producer/partner.
