Celebrate Emily Dickinson’s Birthday by Singing Her Poems to the Gilligan’s Island Theme Song
It seems to be a truth almost universally acknowledged that you can sing Emily Dickinson’s poems to “The Yellow Rose of Texas,” but did you know you can also do it to the tune of the Gilligan’s Island theme song? Yep. True story.
Here’s the music:

He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality.
