Fun with the Gilligan's Island Theme Song

Posted: 16 Oct 2020 12:00 PM PDT



We've long known that the theme from Gilligan's Island, "Amazing Grace," and "House of the Rising Sun" can all be sung to each other's tunes. However, that only scratches the surface. From the YouTube page:

The Gilligan's Island theme song is what is called a "Ballad Metre" (or Meter). Each stanza of ballad metre has four iambic lines. Typically, only the second and fourth lines rhyme. Here are 31 short samples of the some of the songs whose lyrics can be sung to the Gilligan's Island Theme Song and Vice Versa (mostly, not every lyric fits perfectly).

Read more about ballad metre here. The YouTube page also has a list of the 31 songs with timestamps so you can skip ahead and hear the ones you want. Some are Gilligan's Island lyrics set to other tunes, and some are other lyrics set to the TV theme's music. You can switch them around in your head if you like. (via Metafilter)

Don't Cancel Halloween

Posted: 15 Oct 2020 06:00 PM PDT



Elvira, Mistress of the dark, is upset that COVID-19 will put damper on her favorite holiday, so she made a song parody about it, to the tune of Madonna's early hit "Holiday." She also illustrates all the things she likes about Halloween, which are things I don't particularly care for. I won't be home to give out candy, and I don't want to dress up or party. I'll celebrate in the usual manner, by watching horror films. Maybe next year, Elvia?  but only if we can ever get everybody on board to follow the guidelines -otherwise we'll have to stay locked down until they are all convinced by illness.
