The original theme song had a calypso beat and different lyrics. Incidentally, the original was penned by music legend John Williams. (The Creator/Producer) Sherwood Schwartz himself sang the theme song,

The original lyrics also describe several new characters that "Gilligan's Island" fans may not be familiar with. "Two secretaries from U.S.A.," the lyrics say, "'they on the Minnow this lovely day. A high school teacher is next aboard, all taking trip that they cannot afford." The lyrics do describe the Millionaire and his Wife, at any rate, and Gilligan and the Skipper are still there piloting the S.S. Minnow. There is no mention of Ginger the movie star, the Professor, or the farm girl Mary Ann.

The calypso song was used for "Marooned," the original "Gilligan's Island" pilot, and it wouldn't be heard by the public until October 16, 1992

Watch it in its entirety:

LA Times original Review - “ ‘Gilligan’s Island’ is a television series that never should have reached the air this season, or any other season.”

The New York Times was equally uncharitable: “ ‘Gilligan’s Island’ is quite possibly the most preposterous situation comedy of the season.”

Turner TV had the negative and brought it back ... https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-10-11-tv-154-story.html

Koo Stark’s deleted scenes from Star Wars (1977)
The Independant reported that Koo Stark had consented to assume the role of Princess Leia while Carrie Fisher was still deliberating her decision.

Once Fisher officially committed to the role of Leia, Stark was cast as Camie Marstrap, a friend of Luke Skywalker, portrayed by Mark Hamill.

Although her character did not appear in the final cut of the film for many years, it was eventually made available to the public in 2011 with the release of several deleted scenes from "Star Wars."
Koo Stark's character, Camie Marstrap, is featured in a deleted scene from "A New Hope," where Luke Skywalker visits Tosche Station, located near Anchorhead on Tatooine. Fans familiar with the broader "Star Wars" universe may recognize this setting, as it has been included in the comic book and novel adaptations of the original film's screenplay, despite not being part of the final version as well as a recent appearance in The Mandoverse.
