Capitalizing on Beatlemania, the Mosquitoes were written as the most popular band in the world that due to the fervor of their fans looked for some much needed R&R, which of course they found on Gilligan’s Island. We were treated to a couple tunes from the band, but like many who arrived on this “uncharted desert isle” they left the Castaways behind, especially after seeing the girls perform fearing they would be competition. Of note, the Wellingtons, who were the group who recorded the original theme for the show, played the Mosquitoes.
