LYRICS:
Pants on the ground
Pants on the ground
Lookin like a fool with you pants on the ground
Gold in your mouth
Hat turned sideways, pants hit the ground
Call yourself a cool cat looking like a fool
Walking down town
With your pants on the ground! Pants on the ground guy sings a creepy song.
“Pants on the Ground”
During the Atlanta auditions, 62-year-old General Larry Platt appeared and performed his own original song, “Pants on the Ground.” Platt was ineligible to continue, due to the show’s age limit of 28 years old; however, his performance became a viral hit. The single “Pants on the Ground” is being remixed on popular broadcasting websites such as YouTube, but Platt’s song has not been signed for a record deal, though it has been reported that Las Vegas based Jake Records has made an offer. Platt’s song has been remixed by Shy, a deejay for Radio Now 100.9 in Indianapolis, Indiana. It premired January, 16, 2010. Interestingly, Platt was not a general in the army, but an important civil rights leader in Atlanta during the 1960s. In fact, the State of Georgia designated September 4, 2001 as Larry Platt Day for his “priceless and immeasurable contributions to society” and “his great energy and commitment to equality and the protection of the innocent and for his outstanding service to the Atlanta community and the citizens of Georgia.” Source: wikipedia
