[edit] Lyrics
The song involves a fictional account of a rapper meeting a girl who introduces him to the television program Gilligan's Island. The rapper ponders some of the fallacies of the series, such as how well-supplied the characters were, considering that they were only supposed to be on "a three-hour tour" when they became shipwrecked, or how the Professor, despite apparently having knowledge of multiple scientific disciplines, was unable to create a way to escape the island (the song asks "if he's so fly, then tell me why he couldn't build a lousy raft"). In the end, the rapper and the girl form a successful relationship based on their mutual love of Gilligan's Island.
