The Joe Cocker version of 'With a Little Help From My Friends' was used as the theme tune to the TV show 'The Wonder Years'. Was Donovan's 'Catch the Wind' ever used as the theme tune?

As the theme song for The Wonders Years, or another show? Dec 27 02, 9:35 PM

As the theme for 'The Wonder Years'. My brother and I have differing recollections as to whether it was or not! Dec 27 02, 10:29 PM

This link has audio and it is definitely 'With a Little Help From My Friends'. It is only instrumental, but it sure it sounds like Joe Cocker to me. http://www.mattsmusicpage.com/111/themes/mwndryear.htm This link gives you the lyrics and it is the same song. http://www.tripletsandus.com/80s/tvtheme2.htm#wonderyears Hate to break it to you Linus, but if you have a bet going, your brother wins!! However, 'Catch the Wind' may have been used in one of the episodes. It is included on 'Music From The Wonder Years.' http://shopping.yahoo.com/p:Wonder%20Years:1921198235 Dec 27 02, 10:45 PM

Oh, bum cheeks! I think I'll have to change the subject swiftly the next time he raises the question. Thanks, Brainy Blonde - you're a star. Dec 27 02, 11:31 PM

What is the theme tune called that was used for Our Tune on Radio One in the 80's and from where can I download it? There is a children's song with the chorus 'haha thisaway haha thataway hahah thisaway my oh my'. It was used as the Wizbit signature tune (sung by Paul Daniels) but had an original version like 'all the boys come out and play' or similar. What is the proper title of the original tune? I remember a song we used to sing in Girl Guides long ago which had the chorus "Down among the dead men, pow-wow." Can anyone help with words and tune? Which TV panel game used the same theme tune as 'Grange Hill?'
