    Silly buggers. WAY back in 84, my music-major/chorus fiance informed me that this could be done. I went looking for it on UA-cam today, nigh 40 years later, and here it is.... :)

    It works surprisingly well, & I don't just mean the melody; somehow the words seem to reflect the video's content.

      What is Gilligan's Island if not an extended allegory for the story of Jonah?

    The converse can be done, also. Sing the Gilligan's Island lyrics to the Amazing Grace tune:
    _Just sit right back_
    _and you'll hear a tale..._

    • @richardboone6989
      @richardboone6989 2 роки тому +3

      It's a thing , because the characters on Gilligan's isle each represented a deadly sin ; Gilligan = Sloth , Skipper = wrath , the wealthy couple = greed and gluttony , Ginger and Mary Ann = Lust and Envy , and the Professor = Pride . Yearning to be Saved , their only hope , God's Amazing Grace . R. K. B.

    The boat used as the S.S. Minnow in Gilligans Island was a 1964 Wheeler with a cruising speed of 12 knots which means that they could not have traveled more than 41.5 miles. Now I am starting to doubt if the show was even real.

    • @pronintendo1984
      @pronintendo1984 Рік тому +1

      Lmao. But the storm probably could have carried them around faster than the ship could actually travel. I'm just guessing.

      So you're comparing Gilligan's Island to a slave ship?

      "John Newton was an English evangelical Anglican cleric and slavery abolitionist. He had previously been a captain of slave ships and an investor in the slave trade. He served as a sailor in the Royal Navy (after forced recruitment) and was himself enslaved for a time in West Africa." ------ people change. He became an abolitionist.

      A lot of singe and poems were written in what's called "common meter" - alternating lines of eight and six syllables, with emphasis on every second syllable -- which is why this works so well for so many pieces. "Yellow Rose of Texas" and Emily Dickinson's poems also work.

      The "Millionaire" was played by film and TV actor Jim Backus who voiced the cartoon character, Mr. Magoo. He provided a lot of laughter and entertainment. Backus also played James Dean's father in "Rebel Without a Cause."

      Ha! Yes. So wrong, and so right. Just pick any poem and any song melody that conforms to a couplet with an iambic 86.86 meter and have fun switching.

      But better than the original song because it’s getting a wholesome message across
