The Wonder Years

Title: “With a Little Help from my Friends”

Written: John Lennon & Paul McCartney

Performed: Joe Cocker

Joe Cocker originally recorded this song, a soulful remake of the Beatles hit, in 1968 and it was chosen for the theme of this series, which debuted in 1988 because of its nostalgic feel and the feeling of the 1960s. The show was set earlier that the 1968 song, but still fit perfectly.

Joe Cocker performed the song at Woodstock in 1969.
