TV Characters Sing Just For You (megaupload link) from this blog. Some of the coolest pop culture artifacts ever are in here. Including the Mosquitos from Gilligans Island and the group Ginger, Maryann & Mrs. Howell formed in response, and an ancient duet between David Letterman's future sidekick and a future trucker with a chimp.

Regarding the Theme Song, The Ballad of Gilligan’s Isle :

"The three-man folk singing group The Wellingtons sang the theme song for the first season, but were replaced by a similar sounding group, The Eligibles, for the following seasons. The Wellingtons (plus one) also portrayed 'The Mosquitoes' in a classic episode of the series.
