    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?

    As the theme for 'The Wonder Years'. My brother and I have differing recollections as to whether it was or not!

    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.

    This link gives you the lyrics and it is the same song.

    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.'

    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.
