On the album, it runs about 7-8 minutes! be patient. Eventually one of the gilligan's experts around here will see your post. Now, if only I could find a recorded version of "Life is looking good" from the bad news bears "breaking training". I had to actually tape the song off the movie, and then i re-recorded it using all my own instruments. "If we all hang loose now, we'll come out allright... There's something telling me the time is now. It's just a whisper but I know somehow(it;s just a whisper) We've got to do it, got to do it now, life is looking good, looking good, looking good, for you and me!" But, I am such a bad news bears nut that I actually located the ballpark in chatsworth and made a pilgrimage there. If anyone cares, it is Mason field. In the movie it is the home of the north valley league. I have 'Angela's Theme' -- the theme from Taxi by Bob James. Great song; and an example of a full version of a theme song (even though the song was adapted for the show, not written for it). I've got loads of full versions of theme songs from the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, and on CD from the original master tapes. Needless to say, it has taken many years to acquire them and seek them out. The Bad News Bears movie did -- at one point -- have an original soundtrack. I remember having it in the 1970s. (I was then and still am now, a soundtrack freak.) The song you are looking for (the closing song, yes?) was on it. I wouldn't mind having that song myself; I've always liked it. Why it isn't available today -- instead of that travesty of a compilation of rock artists doing Bad News Bears tunes -- boggles my mind. Maybe my memory isn't what it used to be, but I don't recall Ted Nugent being on the original Bad News Bears soundtrack. In any case, as you say, I will be patient, but I'm not too hopeful. Finding a full/extended version of the 1960s Gilligan's Island Theme done in the 1960s, is like finding a full/extended version of Johnny Williams' themes to 'Lost In Space': not available.
