1950's Jim Backus Song Predicts the Future ("Gilligan's Island"/"Gilligan's Planet") - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

This late 50's release was the B-side of "Delicious" and contains the lines

Fly to a tropical Island.

I want to have a ball with those little three chicks.

Get me set for launching, count me down. Blast me off and I'll leave town.

How many other references can you find?

I have this 45 in mint condition, the original release with the blue label where his name is misspelled as "Jim Bakus". Released in 1958, it's interesting as a novelty curio, not much more.
