==== Later parodies and homages ==== The band [[Little Roger and the Goosebumps]] recorded "Stairway to Gilligan's Island", a parody of [[Led Zeppelin]]'s "[[Stairway to Heaven]]", substituting the words to the ''Gilligan's Island'' theme song.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.gilligansisle.com/stairway.html |title=Stairway |work= The Official Gilligan's Island Fan Club | access-date =March 18, 2011}}</ref> In 1987, The Iceman parodied [[Madonna]]'s "[[La Isla Bonita]]" as "La Isla Gilligan". [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] recorded a song called "Isle Thing", a parody of [[Tone LΕc]]'s "[[Wild Thing (Tone LΕc song)|Wild Thing]]", about a rapper whose girlfriend introduces him to the show. Yankovic also mentions the show in his song "Stop Draggin' My Car Around", and he used one verse from the closing theme lyrics in "[[Amish Paradise]]" (1996), a parody of [[Coolio]]'s "[[Gangsta's Paradise]]" (1995). The song has also been covered by many bands, including [[Bowling for Soup]] for the [[TBS (American TV channel)|TBS]] show ''[[The Real Gilligan's Island]]''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Bowling For Soup β Gilligan's Island Theme| work = YouTube | url= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zpIT5PjPNM&NR=1&feature=fvwp| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726105215/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zpIT5PjPNM&gl=US&hl=en&has_verified=1| archive-date=2011-07-26}}</ref> [[Israel Kamakawiwo{{okina}}ole]] also recorded a comic tribute to the theme song on his album E Ala E.
