Dougl Hegdahl, a U.S. Navy petty officer, was captured during the Vietnam War. His captors thought him unintelligent, earning him the moniker "The Stupid."

He feigned ignorance, opting to hum a song instead of speaking.

While in captivity, Hegdahl maintained this act, leading his Vietnamese captors to believe he suffered from a mental disorder.

After being freed and returning to the United States, Hegdahl astounded everyone by listing approximately 256 names of missing fellow POWs.

He had ingeniously memorized their names by associating them with the melody of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm," the same tune he hummed throughout his imprisonment.
