I wrote this song earlier this year. It's called "You Can't Get Off Gilligan's Isle."

You can't get off Gilligan's Isle
No matter how hard you turn that dial
Dick Clark through that cable endless rocking
Kung Fu Carradine, he's still out there walking

Life never ends in TV Land
Just cut to another commercial
Who knows where Tony Soprano goes
Probably kicking it with old Steve Urkel

A three-hour tour, a five-year mission
These happy days are yours and mine
Love is all around, no need to waste it
My little anodyne

I'm back in the Black Lodge again
Thank you for being a friend
Everything we see or seem
Is but a Bob Newhart dream within a Bob Newhart dream

And you can't get off Gilligan's Isle
No matter how hard you turn that dial
Dick Clark through that cable endless rocking
Kung Fu Carradine, he's still out there walking

Life never ends in TV Land
Just cut to another commercial
