Weird Al Yankovic - Isle Thing Lyrics
Met this fine young thing
At the local Circle K
We made a date for a half past eight
And I said, "What the hey?"
And I let myself inside
That chick was slouched down on the couch
I think her brain was fried
Couldn't figure it out
She wouldn't even look at me
Then I saw her eyes, she was hypnotised
Cold glued to her TV
"Hey, what's your problem baby doll
She said, "Hey you fool, now just be cool
I'm watchin' that Gilligan's Isle thing"
Isle thing
Isle thing, isle thing, isle thing
Watchin' all night
Musta, been a marathon
I was bummin', those shows kept comin'
Here's what was goin' on
These Castaways were stranded
On this island out at sea
One of them called Gilligan
So let's name him after m
He'd mess up every rescue
Man, that first mate was illin'
If I was one of those Castaways
I think I'd probably kill 'im
Just about that time
Telephone began to ring
She said, "Just let it, my machine'll get
We're watchin' the Gilligan's Isle thing
Isle thing
She loves that Gilligan's Isle thing
Isle thing, isle thing, isle thing
Please, baby, baby, please
I like the professor
He always saves their butts
He could build a nuclear reactor
From a clouple' of coconuts
She said, "That guy's a genius"
I shook my head and laughed
I said, "If he's so fly, they tell me why
He couldn't build a lousy raft"
And while we're on the subject
I'll tell you one thing for sure
Those homeboys brought an awful lot
For just a three hour tour
Then her mom came in the room
It was kind of embarrasing
She said, "Hey you two, I was once like you
And I loved that Gilligan's Isle thing"
Isle thing
She'd watch that Gilligan's Isle thing
Please, baby, baby, please
Skipper's in a hammock
He's looking kinda fat
He'd throw a fit and then he'd hit
Old Gilligan with his hat
Mrs. Hal had it goin' on
But Mr. Hal was meaner
Ginger and Mary Anne could've used
Some funky cold medina (?)
I was really diggin' this show
I didn't know what to do
It kinda looked like I was hooked
Now I'm an addict too
I know each episode by heart
Now I'm the rerun king
And on every date we both stay up late
And we watch the Gilligan's Isle thing
Isle thing
Hasta la vista, little buddy
Gilligan's Isle thing, isle thing, isle thing

Weird Al Yankovic Isle Thing Comments
Never heard this before. It's like I somehow missed the "UHF" album completely, then resumed coverage of Al activities a couple years later.
The OG Netflix and chill
And I always wanted this to be about a "Swamp Thing" monster... -_-
i love the beat.
Only Al could write a song about Gilligan's Island and make it THIS funny
"Stairway To Gilligan's Island" is great too.
@Beatlemaníaco/Star Wars Fan Never heard it until you mentioned it. It IS good!!! Thanks for the recommendation!!!

What's with the cars
this is a parody of Wild Cherry!!
Nick Imholte What about twister
@gonzalo Twister isn't a parody, it's what Weird Al calls a STYLE parody, and it's a style parody of the Beastie Boys, but it's an original song about the game
@Nick Imholte You're right.TWISTER was his first rap song, but Isle Thing is the first rap parody
Any GenXer knows from the first note that this is Weird Al’s take on “Wild Thing” by Tone Loc. He even copies Tone Loc’s famously raspy voice. This is not a ‘style parody’. ‘Wild Thing’ was a real song and it was HUGE in the 80’s. Not quite a one hit wonder. He had another similar song, which Weird Al references here, “Funky Cold Medina”. And then Tone Loc disappeared into the ether of has-been rap acts from the 80s. Weird Al, however, is still at the top of his game.
I never noticed this was about Gilligan's Island until now.
Thanks.
Lemieux World Order lol
The part where he goes "I'm watching that Gilligan's Isle Thing" didn't tip you off?
