Of course, speaking of the Gilligan's Island theme, there was the discovery that it has the same chords (if memory serves) as "Stairway to Heaven", prompting Little Roger & the Goosebumps to do that song ("Stairway to Gilligan's Island" - GI lyrics to StH music) in concert, and even make a recording of it - until Led Zeppelin's lawyers sued over copyright infringement or whatever for the song tune, and leading to the destruction of all the copies of the song they could find.
Although I read that supposedly, this issue has actually been settled lately, and that the song will be re-released (this time with permissions) on some collection in the near future.
