Degrassi Junior High theme song

The Degrassi Junior High theme song was written and performed by the show's composers Lewis Manne and Wendy Watson, and sung by Watson. Composed and recorded most likely in 1986, it was used for the entire run of the series, until Degrassi High when the theme was reworked in a different key and production.

Composition
The theme is composed in the key of C. It is driven by a standard backbeat on the drums, synthesizers and guitars. The chords used in the song are B-flat, C, F, and G.

Closing credits version
An alternate instrumental version of the theme plays during the ending credits. An electric piano is used to play the vocal melody, though it uses chords instead. The "everybody can succeed" section is repeated at least three (or four) times, before the song concludes with a brief reprisal of the "wake up in the morning" melody.

French-Canadian version
For the French-Canadian dub titled Les Annees College, the lyrics are in French-Canadian, most likely also sung by Watson, accompanied by the closing credits theme, which has an entirely different intro to the one in the actual closing credits.
