The band Green Day invited a fan up on stage to play one of their songs, but he played the song Wonderwall instead as a joke.

Guitarists playing Wonderwall for people has been a meme since the 90s. Here's more about it if you're interested:

the difference being, freebird is a nightmare and shouting "freebird!" at bands is more akin to "you suck" while wonderwall is an ironic "got you"

If a random band does play Freebird to those kind of requests, they'll often only play the first half with vocals. The second, more instrumental half is the Rock Band hard mode of hard mode.

Ah so that's why Otto plays it to Bart when he's learning to play the guitar.
