Gilligan's Island
John Williams, later famous for scoring Star Wars and Jurassic Park, wrote the original theme song for the unaired pilot of Gilligan's Island. The nearly two-minute track featured lyrics sung by creator Sherwood Schwartz in a Caribbean accent. The pilot, titled Marooned, led to significant changes before the series aired.
