They put out a big press release about the music.

Fans of THE WONDER YEARS will thrill to the extensive list of cleared music, which includes 285 modern day classics and instrumentals such as "Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season)" by The Byrds, "Louie Louie" by The Kingsmen, "Sunshine of Your Love" by Cream, Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin'," The Trogg's "Wild Thing," "Good Vibrations" and "Wouldn't it Be Nice" by The Beach Boys, "My Girl" by The Temptations and hundreds of others! Including the 116 clearances of the theme "With a Little Help from My Friends," the total number of cleared songs is 401!

"There are a handful of songs we were unable to clear the rights to, but the DVDs contain over 96% of the original songs from the episodes."

The link has a list of songs cleared for each episode. It's too bad they couldn't get them all, but they did a pretty good job clearing as many songs as they did.

I'm wondering what songs they couldn't clear.
