Sum 41: The great white hope of punk pop

SheKnows.com: The name of the album, "Underclass Hero," is that in any way a nod to John Lennon's "Working Class Hero?"

Drummer Steve Jocz: Yeah, I think we had that in mind. Of course then Green Day came out and released "Working Class Hero" which is like 'Yes that is awesome that that happened.' It's a subtle nod. The idea was a cool line and we took it changed it into something else. The title, it's not really about a class in particular. It was more as I was telling you, Dave left and we got rid of our management so everyone really thought we were just f*#*! and this record wouldn't pack it and we didn't know what we were doing and Deryck produced it and that's not going to work. We were the underdogs, no one thought this was going to happen and now, here we are.
