Here are some of our favorite moments ever, where TV and music combined to create an unforgettable moment.
THE BEST MUSICAL MOMENTS IN TV

The Wonder Years - "With a Little Help From My Friends" by Joe Cocker



We are cheating a bit here since the incredible song by Joe Cocker was actually part of the intro sequence and not a specific moment in the show, but rarely does a song so perfectly capture the essence of a show as this Beatles cover. Opening with a recreation of home videos from the late '60s, featuring the Arnold family doing typical family things. The reason the song and visuals hit so hard was purely based on nostalgia. Every single person growing up during that period could relate to the home video feel, returning you back to your childhood the second Cocker's voice kicked in. The song itself is also an emotional tour de force, with Cocker's raspy delivery adding to the emotional weight of the lyrics. The show itself was a coming-of-age comedy series set in the late 1960s, focusing on the trials and tribulations of young Kevin Arnold and his family, as he enters junior high school and becomes a teenager. It was a wonderful show and a wonderful song that came together to create an unforgettable intro sequence.
