00:00 So wait, if your grandfather's into metal,
00:01 then what kind of music are you supposed to listen to
00:04 as a rebellious teenager?
00:05 John Hetlinger is an 82-year-old badass.
00:08 He shocked the judges and the audience
00:10 of America's Got Talent
00:11 with his rendition of Drowning Pool's "Bodies."
00:14 Roll it!
00:15 ♪ Let the bodies hit the floor ♪
00:17 ♪ Let the bodies hit the floor ♪
00:20 And even more awesome, he made it to the next round.
00:26 Heidi Klum was the only one who voted no.
00:28 And no wonder he rocked the hell out of this song,
00:31 because apparently he's got some experience with it.
00:34 Here's a clip that he posted a couple years ago
00:36 of him performing the exact same song at karaoke.
00:38 ♪ Get in my soul ♪
00:41 Things you never knew you needed in your life.
00:48 So yeah, not surprisingly, the video has gone viral,
00:50 and the members of the actual band Drowning Pool
00:53 have seen the video.
00:55 In an interview, guitarist CJ Pearce informed people
00:58 that they have actually been trying to get in touch
01:00 with Hetlinger because they want him to perform the song
01:03 with them at an upcoming festival.
01:05 Shut up and take my money!
01:06 But here's the thing, Pearce did say that Hetlinger
01:09 is not the oldest Drowning Pool fan that they know of.
01:12 His grandfather is 94 years old and is apparently a fan.
01:16 So I don't know about you guys, but I'm thinking, duet?
01:20 All right, I'm excited for this.
01:21 Let's take a look at some comments.
01:22 96JNB, I aspire to be like this man,
01:25 live an amazing life, become someone,
01:26 do something important, respectively retire,
01:29 and ride out the rest of my golden years
01:30 by trolling younger generations on a national level.
01:33 This guy gets it.
01:35 MU Lee, I feel like this should be
01:37 on a Life Alert commercial.
01:38 Why, because this performance knocks you on your ass
01:40 and you can't get up?
01:41 Boom!
