The successful TV series
The Wonder Years could be viewed as the ultimate in baby boomer narcissism, a nostalgic generation marvelling at how special it once was (try running that notion by a child of the Depression--or a Gen X'er). Whatever the reasons for its success, the show's musical soundtrack at least tried to reinvent some of its inherently shopworn '60s staples by letting contemporary artists cover them: The Indigo Girls tackling the Youngbloods' "Get Together"; The Stones' "Ruby Tuesday" covered by the son of a late rival, Julian Lennon, "Baby I Need Your Lovin'" given a strange sort of respect by "Was (Not Was)." And for a little modern nostalgia, how about two tracks by (including the saccharine title) by Debbie Gibson?
