Instead of hearing “The Ballad of Gilligan’s Isle,” the original pilot episode included a calypso style song which was sung by the show’s creator, Sherwood Schwartz. The theme song was composed by famous Hollywood composer John Williams, the same man responsible for creating the soundtracks for “Star Wars,” “Harry Potter,” and “Jurassic Park.”
