82-year-old John Hetlinger is a former Navy pilot and aerospace engineer, and now, thanks to his performance on America's Got Talent, he's a viral star.

John has had some major accomplishments in life—for instance, he worked on the Hubble telescope, but after last night he may be known for something else for the rest of his life.

Obviously, he was there to sing, but at first glance you would think that a classic man like John would belt out Sinatra or something from the Rat Pack, but instead he opted for a headbanging anthem from Drowning Pool.

After performing "Bodies" (yes, as in "let the bodies hit the floor) John got a YES from all three judges who loved his performance! As it would turn out, he's been doing this little number at karaoke for years now.

Check him out back in 2014. This dude rocks.
