- Bingo, Bango, Bongo and Irving! Sherwood Schwartz, the creator of Gilligan's Island died today. Hey Sherwood, thanks for all the ginchy 60s TV fun! Here are the Wellingtons, a real group that performed on "Shindig!" and "Hollywood Palace," performing as the Mosquitoes on Gilligan's Island. RIP Sherwood.
The fact that the mosquitoes aren't in the rock n roll hall of fame is a travesty of justice 😡
Nor can you stream their music on Spotify!
Neither are the B52s.😢
Man, that Professor really can perform miracles! How he was able to make the electric guitars and bass work and produce such clear sound, with just two coconuts and a banana peel, just WOW!
The Professor didn't look impressed by the rock band.
That was Mr. Howell!!@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc
Don't forget about the lie detector he cobbled together.
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hche said of bingo bongo bango and the other mosquitoe so this is where western Civilization is
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc I loved when the Professor said "Maybe there's more to this tuneless discord than I can comprehend" LOL
It's amazing how the bass player can create such intricate yet soulful patterns without moving his fingers.
I agree. LOL.. &
So funny too! and to think, this is a real group, The Wellingtons.. They do the Theme song for Gilligan's Island actually.. You'd think they would have mimicked the music a little better but appears, they're just goofing around. LOL!!
It’s amazing how those invisible speakers and amps work! The sound really comes in crystal clear
😂😂😂😂😂
I was also searching for wires from their electric guitars but saw none. In 1965 wireless technology didn't exist to handle this. We've been fooled by the show. Of course, the Professor could have developed advanced electronic technology with all the time he had stuck on the island.
They should have won a Grammy and an Emmy for this performance!
They did receive residuals years later. Much by surprise.
The best is the reaction shots of the castaways! As the "kids", Gilligan and Mary Ann are really into it. Mr. and Mrs. Howell are smiling politely. Skipper is annoyed by Gilligan's bouncing around. The Professor is just trying to figure out what the heck is going on.
Exactly!
Mr. Howell was wearing ear plugs, and Ginger was sort of into it.
Michael Kuecker I think Ginger was ready to get gangbanged by Bingo, Bango, Bongo and Irving after the show lol
Mr. Howell is smiling because he has ear plugs,must have made them from coconuts! Lol,!😆
@@skirmisherfront1498 Yeah, I totally forgot that Mr Howell had ear plugs in. HA! 🤣
One of the Wellingtons (the one with glasses) Kirby Johnson, was from my hometown of Byron Illinois. He was a few years older, and I always admired him because of his wonderful musical talent. He could play the piano by ear, and one time played as my piano accompanist when I played a trombone solo in a school contest. I won a first prize, but I know it was only because of Kirby’s flawless piano playing.
love the sound they get without amplifiers
@kaw boy Yeah, coconut power. Off the grid.
@@Kaw-boy😝😝😝😝😝
@@arricammarques1955😆😆😆😆😆
Such a warped comedy i loved every second of it.💞
Mary Ann and Gilligan are so funny in the back row dancing like crazy! LOL
IKR?!? RIP Dawn Wells!

A great night of TV: after this classic episode of Gilligan’s Island had its first airing in Dec 1965, the next program on CBS that night was the premiere of “A Charlie Brown Christmas “
Sure sounds like Tommy Tedesco to me
@@gregb8565Who was Tommy Tedesco?
Along with a few Ronco Christmas commercials ☺️ my whole childhood
As The Wellingtons, they performed the theme song from Gilligan's Island.
Bango went on to become a therapist, my therapist :-)
The band's footwork is top notch!
I wonder if they might have taken inspiration from The Shadows, from the UK...?
Danny Bondaduce took lessons from this bassist
Starting at 00:46 Jim Backus's expressions on trying to tolerate this band should have won him an Emmy!
Jim Backus was the first castaway to pass away in real life.
he has ear plugs in, when their done playing he takes them out
one of the most underrated bands of the 60s this short clip shows the band at their peak before bingo gambled away his fortune and bango entered a sex addiction rehab facility. not to mention the numerous arrests of bongo for marijuana possesion
I hear Irving moved to an ashram in India.
@@cjmmx44 i left you that opening
@@cjmmx44 Managing a bar in Key West, Fla.
@@arricammarques1955 According to the local news he is also working part time training elephants as of March 5 23
Are u all serious thats what happened to them
I'll never forget right after this clip when the Professor says "Maybe there's more to this tuneless discord than I can comprehend??"--absolutely hilarious!!!!
I fell out laughing when Mary Ann ( my childhood crush) screamed out during; " He's a Loser"
Mary Ann was into the band.
Gilligan & his friends were lucky that they had gotten to listen to a Mosquitoes concert on their island for free.
I loved the line where Gilligan says to the Skipper--"I think its great they're going to be here a whole month...do you know how much it would cost to see them that often?"---then the Skipper says "Gilligan... I hope I NEVER get that rich!!!" LOL
I love The Mosquitoes!!
0:05 I like how they throw in the Stone's "Satisfaction" riff in there. Not too many people catch it til I point it out. These guys were great. Really good musicians. The drummer was into jazz for a long time.
I am still looking for that "Mosquitoes at Carnegie Hall" album! No luck so far. ;-)
I hear an autographed copy is really worth a bundle!
Lol. Good luck!!
This is the group the wellingtons which sang the opening theme song for gilligan's island. Les brown jr appeared in this episode as the drummer. The mosquitoes name is based on the Beatles and the Crickets.
I'd still want the album they used as a prop.
😂😂😂😂😂 😁😁😁😁😁
I remember this fun episode, and I remember seeing it in the early 70's when I was growing up and along with Aurora model kits, horror comics, Saturday night horror movies on Creature Features and Chiller Theater, it was a time like no other. It makes my 50 years on this earth well worth it. God bless the cast of this long lost fun show and may we meet on the other side!
Wow, we had the same childhood! Right at 1:00 a.m. the tv station would sign off and it was on to bed.
+Kain Nosgoth It was a great time to be a kid.
+Bongo Dave Indeed! In fact, the 3 guitarists in The Mosquitoes remind me of the way The Impossibles used to rock out during the bumper for the cartoon. A day doesn't go by that I don't think about that time and wish for to return. But alas, these days are gone and relegated to the shadows of memory.....
+Bongo Dave Like I said I missed the 60's firsthand, but grew up in the backwash and loved every minute of it. I went thru the Funky Super 70's and into the 80's as a young raging Metal Head, and at 50 I look back on these days and like the one song, I pine for "The Ghosts of Days Gone By."...
Those were the good ol days, I sure miss it
Wow, at about 0:06, you can clearly hear the lead riff from the Rolling Stones "Satisfaction"...
I heard the instrumental off that one a couple months ago, and I'll tell you, I had a hell of a time getting it unstuck from my head
Good call!
Yep. Copyright infringement right there.
@@tomshaw6373 Yep the Mixolydian mode is prepared to bring the producers to court.
This is fucking hilarious!!! Not only the way they are playing, but watching each of the castaways reaction to the band! Love this
I love Skipper's reaction to Gilligan and Mary Ann enjoying the music.
The Beatles totally ripped off these guys!
😆😆😆😆😆
🤣🤣🤣
💀☠️
this kind of music was going to happen no matter what the beetles were simply mass marketed and filled all the media slots.
Up until the Beatles started putting subliminal messages into their music to tell Charles Manson to start butcher knifing people LOL
Wow!!! that bass player moves his fingers so fast that it looks like he's not moving them at all.
LOL! RIGHT.
😂😂😂
Slowhand
None of them are actually playing,just look close at thier fingers.
@@Kaw-boy🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 😂😂😂😂😂 😆😆😆😆😆
Mary Ann and Gilligan always cracked me up bouncing around! 😂😂😂😂
Bingo,Bango,Bongo and Irving !
The Mosquitos were cool,one of my favorite episodes, love when Mrs Howell is chasing them with her scissors wanting to give them a haircut...LOL! !
And looks as if Maryanns bouncing ,swinging hair keeps hitting the professor in the face. Classic show!
I think it was Bingo who called Mrs. Howell "Delilah" in reference to Samson's hair from Samson & Delilah as she chased him. My favorite bit too.
"Maybe there is more to this tuneless discord than I can comprehend " - Professor
This is the group (actually, it's 'The Wellingtons') that sang, the theme of 'Gilligan's Island'!!!! Just, sit right back, and…………
Are any of the original members of The Wellingtons still alive?
This is one of the mosquitoes best performances..
My father took my brother and I to seven or eight of their performances in South California around 67-68 great shows all of them..
We got Backstage on the 3rd or 4th show and oddly enough they wouldn't comment on how they got off that island.. didn't even want to talk about it.
I saw them at Woodstock. They got the biggest ovation of any band there.
@@jaengen I saw them in 65 or 66 at the Fillmore and Jefferson Airplane was their opening act!
@@krustymadrid4953 where the mosquitos a real rock group well I never heard of them I don’t think they made any records I never seen any mosquito records they remind me of the monkees they were a made up band the monkees weren’t even a real band they didn’t even write there own songs
What? They were a real band? Love this guitar sound
I saw them in 63 , in England and The Beatles were their opening act .@@krustymadrid4953
the professors reaction is hilarious!!
The Professor always had good reactions and double takes.
Cordless AND remote amps in 1965!
The Gilligan's island television series was based on a true story. All the episodes in this series actually happened in real life.
Yes..if you where on mushrooms, then yes, it really happened in real life!
Believe it or not, when it first aired the Coast Guard got calls from concerned viewers telling them about the lost castaways.
@@coolasice2187 The concerned viewers thought that the actors in the sitcom were real castaways.
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc That's what I'm saying.
They are playing electric guitars yet there are no amplifiers and most important, there is no electricity on the island. LOL
Just like that scene later on in the episode where the women sing along with the electronic turn table.
Gee genius you are so observant!! You mean it's not real?
Bite me!
Hey, news flash,, the Coyote on Road Runner could never survive those falls!
LOL
Dawn Wells(Mary Ann) was so cute.R.I.P.
im hotter!
Back when there was a serious generation gap on music, I love how Skipper is looking at his younger friend Gilligan.
Gilligan and Mary Ann couldn't sit still in their seats when the music was playing. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
His, little buddy.
No one mentioned Mr. Howell was enjoying the 'performance' - the imaginary one in his head - thanks to the earplugs he was wearing (revelead after the clip ends).
Bingo, Bango and Bongo are still better than any pop music of the 21st century.
@kaw boy I was gonna say that! 😝
What about Irvine?
It was a very important moment in musical history, many people do not know them. That is their chance to know a time that will never return. Thanks for the good times
When I first became a lawyer in 1990 Ed Wade (Bango) was a partner in my law firm. He was in his mid 40s then. So serious. Nothing like Bango. I remember asking him about Mary Ann (Dawn Wells). He said Mary Ann was nice. I asked about Ginger (Tina Louise). He said Ginger was not so nice.
Tina Louise was always stuck up. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
This group performed the opening theme song for the 1st season of the show, but got screwed out of royalties, years later one of them decided to check on royalties for their performance in this episode as "The Mosquitoes", and discovered they had accrued substantial checks from the studio.
Very cool. I knew something was up when it looked like they could actually play instruments.
Their real names were The Wellington's.
In the book "Here on Gilligan's Isle" written by Russell Johnson (the "Professor") and Steve Cox it was noted that the Wellingtons' (the group that sang the opening theme and played the "Mosquitoes") did not receive any residuals when this episode played in reruns. However, they did belong to the music union (BMI) and they were entitled to royalties for the two songs they sang in this episode. When Kirby Anderson ("Irving") called about 20 years later they found out they were entitled to as they said a "tidy sum" of money
Bingo, the drummer, was Les Brown, Jr., the famous bandleader. Doris Day used to travel with Les Brown Sr.'s band. . Read up on them... quite interesting history and life .
Bango on the right was named George Patterson and became a therapist after he left music.
The Professor's name was Roy Hinkley & the Skipper was Jonas Grumby
And Gilligan's first name was "Willie" & Mary Ann's last name was "Summers" !
I don’t care what anybody says. Thats some nice guitar playing going on there
yes "The Wellingtons" sang the first season theme only.
I love that song, I had been looking for that for a while. I like the way they danced too. I want to learn that song in our band.
' He's A Loser" was also on a 1965 Columbia album titled " Chim Chim Cherr-ee" by The New Christy Minstrels. I think The Mosquitos/Wellingtons version is superior. Unfortunately I don't think they officially released it on an album.
These gents are intended to be a spoof of the Beatles (Duh!) but their music in this episode kind of brings to mind other British Invasion acts as well (The Pacemakers, Chad & Jeremy, Peter and Gordon, the Dakotas, et al)
No, it is all surf music, starting with the backbeat and the easily recognizable guitar sounds. Mainstream culture is always a year behind the times!
beetles were the mass marketed band of the 1960s like jacko and mcdonna were mass marketed in the 1980s but the crap always gets mass marketed.
@@CoCotheTurtle Musically, I agree, but I'd say the vocals are closer to Brit Invasion or US bands trying to sound like Brit Invasion.
@@kijekuyo9494 The melodies also bring to mind very early Bowie, back when he was Davie Jones
The first song is a parody of The Byrds. The second song parodies The Beatles. Have you noticed how the two songs are in different styles? Because those are different bands.
Bingo, bango, bongo....I say that and always wonder where I got it from. Now I know.
Bango went on to become a therapist. I know because I saw him for years
Oh man! I used to love hearing 'Don't Bug Me" when this episode would come on in the 70's when I was a little guy. Along with the old Aurora monster kits, the monster magazines, and WNEW 5's Creature Features on Saturday night, it's plain to see that I grew up on the tail end of a really great and fun time that was only HINTING at how good the day was. Of course there were other things that made my day great, but these were just a few of em'.
"Creature Feature"! I haven't seen that phrase in decades. Thanks for the memory :-)
@@apollion888 Did you watch the WNEW 5 New York version in the early 70's like I did? We got it from our house in New Jersey all those decades ago.
@@kainnosgoth7336 My version was in Boston on channel 56 on Saturdays in the 70's. May have been the same show syndicated or we stole the idea
@@apollion888 Possibly, or the networks could have switched broadcasting for the day since they were affiliates. Be that either case, I clearly remember the channel 32 logo. So many fun days and so many years gone by with them!
New Christy Minstrels recorded the song ""He"s a Loser"" Originally earlier in the year 1965.. thank you for sharing & posting
Sears sold battery operated guitars in the 60s with built in speakers.
This was a real band called The Wellingtons and they sang the theme song for Gilligan’s Island.
The Wellingtons were just as good as The Beatles.
Actually, these guys knew how to play. They did the theme for Gilligan's Island, if I remember right.
Mr. Howell is thinking "Good Lord, take me now" the whole time.
Mr. Howell has ear plugs in his ears. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Love how gilligan is doing a sitting MOSH!!!
Gilligan's no poser!
He's a Loser...thats my favorite song!
I like the way their electric guitars work without electricity and their voices naturally echo .
Love the choreography guitars
actually its a good song
These are the guys who performed the theme song too.
Bango (on the right) was actually a guy named George who went on to become a therapist, my therapist. He died of cancer a few years ago.
I've always wondered if these songs exist outside the show, maybe as Wellingtons songs, or if any kind of complete studio recordings exist of them.
In the first scene right after this "concert"-Gilligan says to the Skipper-"I think it's great they're going to be here a whole month...Do you know how much it would cost to see them that often"--to which the Skipper says "Gilligan I hope I NEVER get that rich"--LOL!!!
A parody of The Beetles. LOL. Their names were Bingo, Bango, Bongo, and Irving. I remember this episode well.
2021, and someone still spells "Beatles" with two e's. My word. XD
One of my favorite shows growing up... I wonder who eventually ended up with those 'props' (guitars)? 60 year old Fender Jazz, a Ric and a Gibson? Zowee, mama!
I just realized the lyric in Ge's a Loser... "HE's GOT ROCKS IN BOTH HIS HEADS" 🤣🤣🤣 Very heavy stuff that got past the censors of the time. Hell I've seen the episode all my life and it never struck me untill today!!!
Yes…I remember seeing this episode (as a rerun, after school) when I was 14, and thinking “Did they really just say ‘He’s got rocks in BOTH his heads?!’ On a show from the 1960s?!” So yeah…too funny that that lyric completely got past the censors, especially way back then!
I am reading the comments and dying laughing... This is great.
They can produce great quality sound, considering there's no electricity on the island.
Neil Peart could never play a drum solo like that LOL
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mr. Howe is acting like a record producer
I always wondered why the Howells went for a ride on that tiny little boat when they could have been on their 50 ft yacht and why they brought along all those clothes and jewelry for a "three hour tour" as they put it,plus Ginger and Mary Ann always had a change of clothes but Gilligan along with the skipper and professor always had on the same clothes.
The Howells overloaded the boat w/ their trunks full of clothes, jewelry, perfumes/colognes, bottles full of "spirits" (brandy, bourbon, rum, vodka, etc..) & readily available cash (& lots of it)!
"Oh Thurson. Don't those two sailors look like they need financial assiatnce?"
"Lovey that's a capital idea. Let's take a three hour tour with them. We'll only bring the loose change with us, several million, perhaps, just to leave them a good tip when we're done."
And the rest is history.
I wish Ginger, and Mary Ann had no clothes!
Interesting how 1960-63 was lif the 50s, 64-67 was when the Beatles, the beat nicks and this type of music emerged, the after 67 the hippie stuff really started around 68 and 69. Whenever someone tries to portray the 60s these days the only mention the hippies.
Hippies suck. They became liberals and destroyed this great country. They now hate America. Hippies suck
@@ln5423 Jim Jones called, he has kool aid for you to drink
Seeing as the Wellingtons were a real musical group, you'd think they could've at least gone through the actual motions of playing their instruments.
Maybe they were mocking the lip syncing on the popular shows like Ed Sullivan back then. The Mamas & Papas did it. The over-the-top faking does make it funny for sure.
Mary Ann screaming, LOL. Love it
Mary Ann was the perfect island groupie.
Bingo, Bango , Bongo , Bingo etc... I love how the Professor calls it tuneless discord. LOL
Bingo, Bango, Bongo, and Irving...
Legend has it they influenced Led Zeppelin.
Led Zeppelin recorded two or three of their songs, but gave them no credit.
@@kijekuyo9494 LOL!
This is so great- just found this. I remember this episode. Lol!
Thurston: I say Lovie…These young raga muffins are rather entertaining. Very entertaining…indeed. 😃
This is how I got into Metal!! 👍👍
I’m just sitting here wishing I had those now vintage instruments.
MARY ANN CRACKED ME THE HELL UP!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
MARY ANN WAS A TRUE GROUPIE.
Who's watching this in 2020??
try 2024 🙂
The same people sang Whale of a Tale on that 45 record on the other side of 20,000 leagues under the sea.
They did a great performance and it still took until 1978 for them to get off the island.
Id like to get my hands 👐 on those 🎸 they would be very,very valuable!!! Amazing how they played them all by strumming!! 1966 technology ⚙ at its best!! It's only fantasy, and ,damn funny ✌ too!!😊😊.It would be impossible to be on a desert 🏜, and live with off bananas and 🥥!!
FOR THOSE PICKING THIS APART BECAUSE THERE IS NO ELECTRICITY. GILLIGANS ISLANDS WHOLE LOVE FOR THIS SERIES IS WHY IT HAS NOW PAST I. LOVE LUCY IN TV SYNDICATION. JUST KEEP IN MIND NATALIE SCHAFFER WAS 17 YEARS OLDER THAT PRODUCERS KNEW ABOUT AT THE TIME.
A memorable moment. Maryann was my roll model😊
Role*
The castaways were lucky to have seen a concert performed by the Mosquitos for free, though that musical group later left them behind and threw away their chance to become heroes and the castaways' saviors.
I'm watching this episode of Gilligan's Island right now. It's episode 12 season 2.
I really wish "Don't Bug Me" was a real, full song
I just found a UA-camr named Bill Funt who made a full version and it's incredible!
This is my all-time favorite episode of the sitcom.
I don't think I've ever seen this episode, and I thought I had seen them all.
FYI: ....Their names were;..... "Bingo",..... "Bango"......"Bongo",......and ...."Irving"!!!!.......
Yep
(as The Skipper) "Eh...Irving?!?" 😄
That was a reverse reference to The Beatles, who had John, Paul, George, and "Ringo"
David Simpson I also thought it a strange coincidence that the Beatles were all named after saints: Saint John, Saint Paul, Saint George and ...er, Saint Ringo?!?
@@MyLateralThawts Oh yes, I know him well. Saint Ringo, patron saint of tasteful drumming.
Ringo's real name was Richard Starkey. Is there a Saint Richard? Saint Dick?
You can also hear the Byrds "Feel a Whole Lot Better" on there as well.
when the Castaway's were finally rescued in the movie---I wonder if the Mosquitoes were afraid they would "squeal" on them for not helping them get off the island
There were no Mosquitos in 1978. Garage bands were long since replaced by Disco, Heavy Metal and Punk...come to think of it, maybe a punk band or three could have done a remake of either or both of these songs.
It would have been fun to check in on Wrong-Way Feldman, the Mosquitoes, Dubov, and all the others that visited the deserted isle. . .
The mosquitos didn't want any competition from the girls group, the honeybees.
Harold Hecuba must have been crapping in his pants when they got rescued. Ditto Erica Tiffany Sith. Jonathan Kincaid and George Barkley.
Maryanne and Gilligan dancing.. classics
You can hear the Stones "Satisfaction" and the Byrds "Feel a Whole Lot Better" in "Don't Bug Me."
No cords, no amps, no sound system. But somehow the Mosquitoes pull it off! One of my favorite bands of all time! And of course, The Wellingtons. But, than again, they were not as good as the Mosquitos. But who was back then?
RIP Dawn Wells 🙏
Didn't The Mosquitoes sneak off the island and leave the castaways behind? What a bunch of scumbags.
The authorities should arrest "The Mosquitoes" for not rescuing "The Castaways".
Also, Eva Grubb, who apparently returned to the states as Ginger Grant. She prob. told the authorities that the other 6 died at sea.
