In a perfectly ordinary turn of events, Paramore's Hayley Williams joined the Foo Fighters during their headlining set at Bonnaroo yesterday (June 18) to perform a triumphantly energetic rendition of "My Hero."

If you're deep into the Para-lore, you'll know that this was a bit of a full-circle moment for the frontwoman, whose band previously covered the Foos' 1997 hit for the 2006 film Superman Returns.

Paramore had brought their excellent live show to the stage at the Manchester, TN-based music festival just before Foo Fighters capped off the night, so it only made sense to have Williams come back out for a wholesome Father's Day moment. After all, who among us has Dave Grohl not raised?

See fan-shot footage of the duet — including Grohl's cute quipping of, "She's harmonizing and shit!" — below.
 
 

Foo Fighters and Paramore are both currently touring their respective new albums, But Here We Are and This Is Why.
