So says Mr. Howell when the castaways are invaded
by THE MOSQUITOES, the latest rock group sensation, a wacky take-off on the Beatles.
10 Stars.
This is a super fabulous episode, and a bit historical. The Mosquitoes were actually played by 60s folk group, The Wellingtons, who sang the famous theme song. They were also regulars on the popular 60s music show, SHINDIG. Excellent trivia question.
Of course, the story is framed around some sort of a rescue attempt, right? The gang again -- without fail -- while impressed with their famous guests, are also looking for a way off the island. Will it finally happen this time around?
What has always amazed me is the camp wardrobe the gang wears, often multiple changes (and don't forget, this also includes blankets and curtains?). Comes the timeless question, how much luggage did they all bring for what was to be a "Three Hour Tour"???
Les Brown, Jr, son of the famous band leader, makes an appearance as one of the group, who is still around today, hosting a 40s era show on Sirius Radio. Early director credit for Steve Binder, who produced dozens of historical tv musicals and rock-u-mentaries.
The Skipper with a blonde wig (in Gilligans new rock group) is a must. Ginger, Mary Ann and Mrs. Howell debut as THE HONEYBEES? Doing Mary Ann's voice is singer Jackie DeShannon (unbilled) who had a hit at the time, WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW IS LOVE.
For 60s music completists, and all us old DJs. SEASON 2 EPISODE 12 remastered color in all it glory.
