[net.music] Stairway to Gilligan

as@brunix.UUCP (06/03/83)

The song is the theme to GILLIGAN'S ISLAND sung as if to the music of
STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN.  Led Zeppelin, appalled that such a thing would harm
their reputation (whatever that means), sued the group responsible, Little
Roger and the Goose Bumps.  All copies of the song not already sold were
allegedly bought back and destroyed.  A few years ago, Little Roger and
the Goose Bumps wanted to record a spoof of Neil Young's CINNAMIN GIRL,
called KENNEDY GIRLS.  Still smarting from their previous legal experience,
Little Roger & Co. contacted Young to seek permission.  Young, familiar
with the earlier Little Roger and the Goosebumps classic, agreed provided
the group provide him with a copy of STAIRWAY TO GILLIGAN.
