The theme song for "Gilligan's Island", "The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle," was written by Sherwood Schwartz and George Wyle, with the first-season version performed by The Wellingtons and the second-season version by The Eligibles.

The original pilot featured a calypso theme by John Williams, who also composed incidental music for the first season before being replaced by Gerald Fried.

As the show was about to air, Sherwood Schwartz still needed a theme song. He decided to create one that narrated the story of how the characters became shipwrecked, ultimately naming it "The Ballad of Gilligan's Island." Remarkably, Schwartz wrote the entire theme song in a single night.
