	Little Roger and the Goosebumps - A Little History
		Roger Clark and Dick Bright performed and recorded together from 1973 to 1983 as Little Roger & The Goosebumps and were renowned throughout the Western states for their quirky stage act, and their rude and corny songs.
		Come 1978 and Little Roger & The Goosebumps recorded their claim to fame - a controversial tribute single, their third, which featured "Stairway to Heaven" joined in most unholy wedlock with the lyrics to the "Gilligan's Island" television show (the first rock mash-up!).
		Meanwhile Roger Clark, songwriter and com-poseur by night, went into the "private sector." He weaseled his way into the elite backrooms of the sleazy citadel of the music business, learning to read upside down when standing in front of someone's desk (a job requirement at the old Variety newspaper).

		Her reference to Little Roger and the Goosebumps' 1978 song "Gilligan's Island (Stairway)" reminded me that this was my first encounter with a "mashup".
		I won't try to recreate the history of this song (which was penned by Little Roger's late guitarist John Shield).
		"Little Roger & The Goosebumps - Their one single didn't quite climb the charts nationally in 1978 because it was pre-empted by a lawsuit while the song was steadily gaining airplay around the country.

	Laguna Tunes - Kenny Laguna
		Back in the late '70s, Laguna produced "Stairway to Gillian's Island" by Little Roger and The Goosebumps, a somewhat wacky parody that wed the words to the classic TV sitcom theme with the music to Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" - and the Zep's management crushed it.
		I mean, this is the guy with the nerve to record "Stairway to Gilligan's Island," by Little Roger and the Goosebumps, a Led Zeppelin parody so perfect the group's manager offered to put Laguna up if he didn't get it off the radio.
		The album's tour de farce is Little Roger and the Goosebumps' "Stairway to Gillian's Island".

	EFF: KPFA: "Art and Music Sampling: The Death of Creativity"
		Little Roger and the Goosebumps apparently had satire in mind when they took the music from Led Zeppelin's fragrant and ponderous ode, "Stairway to Heaven," and recorded it with the lyrics to "Gilligan's Island." Don't look for this classic in the oldies bin.
		He was a little dog named Snuggles, but he was most certainly a part of.
		But I look at corporations--you say there are five major corporations that are running a lot of the music business--and they are using the copyright laws to their own ends and they are acting like petulant little children with a heck of a lot of legal clout.

	Spectropop Group Discussion Archives: Digest Number 479 - 25 May 2002
		The CD is worth the price just to have on CD Little Roger and The Goosebumps' brilliant "Gilligan's Island (Stairway)" - though it's listed here as "Stairway To Gilligan's Island" - from 1978.
		Anyone who has been to the little house on West Grand Blvd will know how difficult it is to believe that all those majestic records came out of such a modest building.
		The whole thing might be a little bit too cute for some, but it's certain to appeal to at least a certain subset of Spectropoppers.

		After all the stress of cleaning up the house on Saturday, I ended up eating too much for dinner too late and too fast.
		That meant that I spent the whole day on Sunday feeling sick to my stomach and finding very little in life to amuse me. Seeing Kaylee get into the cupboards was what finally did it though.
		As it happened, I forgot to take something out for dinner tonight and it turned into the perfect opportunity for me to do a little experimenting.

	Overcrowded Stairway to Heaven \| \| Guardian Unlimited Arts
		American singer Jano launched a baroque techno assault on the song in 2002, surprisingly picking up a Native American Music award (Nammy) for her efforts.
		The reliably gnomic Plant says little about these various tributes, but has let it be known that his favourite Stairway homage is a 1970s novelty hit by San Francisco band Little Roger and the Goosebumps, which mixed the track with the theme from cult comedy show Gilligan's Island.
		Rogue pockets of the internet boast a Stairway "cover" by Jimi Hendrix, but this claim is arguably weakened by the fact that Hendrix died weeks before the song was written.

	TiVoPlex for Tuesday, August 9 through Monday, August 15, 2005
		Crackers looks great, thanks to cinematographer Laszlo Kovacs' evocative lensing of the city's Mission District, but Jeffrey Alan Fiskin's screenplay leaves much to be desired and the dated ‘80s score will have you reaching for the earplugs.
		In addition to the fine lead actors, the film also has room for cameos by such local luminaries as Professor Irwin Corey and Dick Bright, whose Little Roger and the Goosebumps single, Stairway to Gilligan's Island, remains one of the greatest rock parodies of all time.
		Well, I finally caught up with this a week or two ago when it premiered on Showtime, and to my great surprise it's a thoroughly enjoyable little bonbon that strips the earnest absurdities from the first film's screenplay and steers the story in a much more satirical (and rather camp) direction.

		In addition, in several states the margin of victory for either Bush or Gore was only a little more than Nader's totals. The margin of victory in Washington state (and its 11 electoral votes) for Gore was a little more than Nader's votes -- 139,000 lead to Nader's 103,000 votes.
		With Nader in the race, the picture changes only a little. In the red states, Bush leads among likely voters by six points, 51% to 45%, but he trails badly in the purple states (52% for Kerry, 39% Bush, 4% Nader) and in the blue states (55% Kerry, 43% Bush, 1% Nader).
		Combine that little polling factoid with the graphic above, and its not too hard to understand why the White House strategists are starting to get a little concerned.

		"I'm the bitch y'all love to hate," Kelis Rogers declares on "Bossy," the hit single (featuring rapper Too Short) from her fourth album.
		Almost three decades after the release of the cult hit "Stairway to Gilligan's Island," which paired the music of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" with the lyrics from the theme song of the 1960s goofball TV show starring Bob Denver, Little Roger and the Goosebumps have issued a follow-up album.
		So this time, the Goosebumps -- Roger Clark and Dick Bright -- have dropped much of their dark humor and have concocted a tour de force of white-eyed soul.
