C'mon!  Gilligans' Island is still in syndication in many major
markets -- so knowing the theme to that is hardly much of an
accomplishment.

The "Felix the Cat" song is actually quite long -- the part we usually
hear is just the chorus!  The main song starts off:

He's amazing!
He's remarkable!
... and so on.

There were several versions to Casper (which still does run in some
areas).  One of these was:

Casper, the friendly ghost.
The friendliest ghost you know.
Though grownups might,
Look at him with fright.
The children all love him so.

He always says, "hello".
Cause he's really glad to meet ya'.
Wherever he may go,
He's kind to every living creature.

Grownups don't understand,
Why children love him the most.
But the kids all love him,
And he loves them so,
Casper the friendly ghost!

Ah yes.  Deputy Dawg.  As I recall, his primary pal was, uh, (spin spin)
"Musky (?) Muskrat", and there was also a gopher who wore a beret and was sort
of a beatnik type.
