The original theme song to Gilligan's Island was a calypso song written by John Williams (of Star Wars fame and much more) and sung by creator Sherwood Schwartz. It was replaced before it left the “pilot” stage.

The first two pilots were rejected. It was on the third pilot that the theme was replaced to the familiar song we know today.

Interestingly, this original theme refers to a

"6 Hour Trip," rather than a "3 Hour Tour."

As in the season 1 theme song, this one omits the Professor and Mary Ann in favor of "the rest." Unlike the season one theme, this one also omits Ginger.
