American Idol fans will remember when Green Day performed John Lennon’s “Working Class Hero” during the 2007 season finale. What they may not know is that Green Day almost didn’t get to perform the song at all. Show producers were worried that Green Day would belt out the profanity found in the original lyrics and did not want the band to perform at all. Eventually the Green Day band members were able to convince the show that they were in fact professionals and ended up pre-recording the song to take the shows worries away. When asked if they would be back again they only had this to say. “Oh, no way. Not in a million years,” said frontman Billie Joe Armstrong.
