Pants on the ground | american idol pants on the ground

"American Idol" got a little silly tonight with its "pants on the ground" -- and we loved it.

This might possibly be the funniest thing we've ever seen on "American Idol." Normally we are simply annoyed by the bad auditions but how can you not love a 62 year-old man named General Larry Platt dancing while he sings his song "Pants on the Ground?"

Here’s the lyrics:

Pants on the ground
Lookin’ like a fool with your pants on the ground

With the gold in your mouth, hat turned sideways
Pants hit the ground, call yourself a cool cat
Lookin’ like a fool, walkin’ to the town
With your pants on the ground!

According to some “instant” websites that just popped up minutes after his audition aired: “General Larry Platt, 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.” He talks about his experiences and memories of the civil rights leaders of the era.”
