I never noticed this before, but Natalie Schafer bears a striking resemblance to Betty Cooper.

This must make Dr. Demento so happy. Which makes me happy!

The Emily Dickison poem Because I Could not Stop for Death is also in iambic pentameter / iambic trimeter and can also be sung to the tune of Gilligan’s Island.
Unfortunately now that you know this you will never be able unhear it this way in your head.

Because I could not stop for death he kindly stopped for me
The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality.
… a three hour tour.

Sing it to the tune of Yellow Rose of Texas to fight it. Wait, can you sing the Gillgan’s Island theme to Yellow Rose of Texas?
