Trivia - Songs of G.I. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hi all,

Can one of you G.I. experts help me compile a complete list/refresh my memory about all the songs the female leads sang on the show. I can only remember two, but I'm almost sure there are more.

The two I remember: You Need Us - Sung by Ginger, MaryAnne and Ginger, and "I Want To Be Loved By You" - Sung by Ginger. I'm also interested in a sentence or two summary of the episode/s these songs appear in.

Thanks, Alec

Ginger and Mary Ann did a duet of "Bill Bailey" in the final episode: "Gilligan The Goddess."

And I remember Ginger doing a song in the episode "Forward March" where Gilligan is a patient in their "Army hospital" being treated for a "war" wound - actually a scratch. I believe the song was "It Had To Be You."

Ginger also performed a very passionate version of "Allouette" in the episode "The Matchmaker."

It's not a female lead song, but one of my favorites is one of the two times that the entire cast sang a song together. In "The Little Dictator" they did a version of an old song by George M. Cohan (the Yankee Doodle Dandy guy) called "Harrigan" except they changed it to "Gilligan"

the other time they sang together was the finale number in Hamlet

G-I-double L-I -G-A-N spells Gilligan
He's the leader of a mighty nation
Idolized by all the population
G-I-double L-I-G-A-N, you see
He's the one we adore
Who keeps us out of war
Gilligan!....."that's me!"

I think you got them all. I will have to go through TV Treasure book to see if you got them all. They mention a lot about the songs
