American Idol “Pants on the Ground”

Last night (Jan. 13th) on American Idol, saved the last audition in Atlanta for the energetic 62 year old that is General Larry Platt, who sang “Pants on the Ground” and topped it of with break dancing. Then they celebrated “Pants on the Ground!” by getting almost everyone in the building to sing “Pants on the ground!”

You can see the video here
It turns out Platt, who was shot in the eye as a child, attacked by K-9 dogs and suffered beatings, calls himself a “general of the civil rights” movement, so it seemed a fitting send-off to Atlanta.

Pants on the ground
Pants on the ground
Lookin’ like a fool with your pants on the ground
With the gold on your mouth
Hat turned side-ways
pants hit the ground
Call yourself a cool cat lookin’ like a fool
Walkin’ downtown with yo pants on the ground,
Get it Up! Hey! Get your pants off the ground,
Lookin’ like a fool,
Walkin’, Talkin’ with yo pants on the ground
Get it up! Hey!
Get your pants off the ground!
Lookin’ like a fool with yo pants on the ground!
Lookin’ like a fool with yo pants on the ground!
-”General” Larry Platt
