"I Wanna Be Loved By You" from Gilligan's Island
(1967)
SONG.
Jeez, Louise! It's arguable, but I've always thought a Technicolor "Ginger Grant" (Tina Louise) really gave a black-and-white Marilyn Monroe a serious run for her money with her even more over-the-top rendition of this burlesque-ready bump-and-grinder. Watching Louise in action, you have to rethink any bad feelings you've had toward her for feeling so superior to the show that made her forever-famous. Seeing "Mary Ann" (Dawn Wells) try to tackle it was hilarious and disturbing, too.
CHOICE LYRIC:
"Pa-pa-do-ra...boop-boop-ba-doo...OOH!"
I just always loved her sexpot ad-libbing. Amazing that this was embraced so soon after Marilyn's demise.
