G is for Pants On The Ground


"Pants on the ground, Pants on the ground, Lookin’ like a foo 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 foo Walkin’ downtown with your pants on the ground." Those are the lyrics of a very awesome song called pants on the ground, obviously. This song was composed my a man with the name Larry Platt one night on American idol. As he sang and danced on stage he did not consider the fact that he might make it to Hollywood. Shortly after his song premiered live on American Idol it went straight to itunes hitting the top ten list.


Though Larry Platt cannot move on to Hollywood for much longer his 10-m inutes of fame was worth the risk. The song may be included someday in the American Idol album. One of the reasons why he could not continue on with the rest of the people that made it past the auditions was because he went a little over the age limit. The age limit for the aditions was 28. Larry Platt was 62 years old. I think we went a little over the limit.
As random and silly as this song really is, for some weird reason i really like it. For a 62 year old man that sings about a song with no meaning I think he put a lot of effort and heart into it, and he has made a lasting impression on America FOREVER!

Larry Platt was not an army general, he was a civil rights activist in Atlanta. The nickname "General" was given to him by Hosea Williams because of his amazing efforts on behalf of the civil rights movement. Pants on the Ground was played on WWE's Royal Rumble in a backstage segment between Teddy Long, Ranjin Singh, and the Great Khali.Also pants on the ground was sung by David Letterman on the Late Night Show. Pants On The Ground will soon be a greatest hit and I hope when I'm 62 I will have as much swagga as Larry Platt.

Life lesson: Keep your pants pulled up, and dont be a foo!!!!!!
