<p>Pants on the Ground lyrics:</p>

<p>Pants on the ground</p>

<p>Pants on the ground</p>

<p>Lookin’ like a fool with yo pants on the ground</p>

<p>With yo gold in yo mouth</p>

<p>Hat turned sideways, pants hit the ground</p>

<p>Call yourself a cool cat, lookin like a fool</p>

<p>Walkin’ downtown with your pants on the ground</p>

<p>Get it up, hey, get your pants off the ground</p>

<p>Walkin’, talkin’ with your pants on the ground</p>

<p>Get it up, hey, get your pants on the ground</p>

<p>Lookin’ like a fool with your pants on the ground</p>

<p>Gold in your mouth</p>

<p>Hat turned sideways</p>

<p>Call yourself a cool cat, yeah, lookin’ like a fool</p>

<p>Walkin’, talkin’ with your pants on the ground</p>

<p>Boom, boom, pants on the ground</p>

<p>Lookin’ like a fool with your pants on the ground</p>

<p>With your gold in your mouth</p>

<p>Hat turned sideways, pants hit the ground</p>

<p>Call yourself a cool cat</p>

<p>There’s a youtube of him outside the tryouts
try"benjamins11channel" on youtube.</p>

<p>I don’t know whether to be disappointed or relieved that I didn’t recognize anyone at the Atlanta tryouts!</p>

<p>Yours is a MUCH better link, nysmile!</p>

<p>Within 15 minutes of the end of tonight’s episode, there was already a Facebook fan page dedicated to Pants on the Ground with over 3,000 members or so at the time. As of this moment it has just shy of 50,000 fans. Simon called it.</p>

<p>There are actually three Facebook pages for fans of the song “Pants On The Ground.” The last of the three pages is to become a fan of the General who sang the song on AI. The other two are for fans of the song, not the singer.</p>

<p>Raising my hand. Had a busy day yesterday and I turned on the Tv with the hope to watch a comedy or something to laugh. There it was American Idol. It had me “Laughing all the way” (?) “Pants on the Ground” will be a classic comedy for AI.</p>

<p>Like teenagers says "that was hysterical!!!
Gentlemans and Ladies: The 62 year man not only sang a funny song, but he did also a split… Will laugh for the whole week remembering “Pants on the Ground” and to see The judges’ faces. </p>

<p>BTW, Who wrote the funny song?</p>

<p>I thought Larry, the singer, wrote it.</p>

<p>^^Yes, I thought he said he wrote it.</p>

<p>Agree that Posh always looks like crap. I’d rather see her as a judge on American Idol than on Project Runway! I wonder what Beckham saw in her. An orange skeleton is not my erotic ideal.</p>

<p>Loved loved loved Pants on the Ground!! D and I kept making the lyrics parts of our text messages to each other today!</p>

<p>We loved Pants on the Ground too, so funny! DH ran to the grocery store early this morning to get a carton of milk and came in the door singing Pants on the Ground - he claimed it was on the radio! Cute, cute</p>

<p>The country girl (aka “bridge jumper”) who auditioned from TN made me sad though because she had so little. I was so glad she made it through just for her to have the experience of flying on an airplane and going to Hollywood. What an experience for her.</p>

<p>An article from the local paper:</p>

<p>[General</a> Larry Platt - a legend in the making on ‘American Idol’ | Seattle Times Newspaper](<a href=“http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/idolconfessions/2010792507_idolgeneral14.html?cmpid=2628]General”>http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/idolconfessions/2010792507_idolgeneral14.html?cmpid=2628)</p>

<p>“The country girl (aka “bridge jumper”) who auditioned from TN made”</p>

<p>magnoliaMom. I agree with you. </p>

<p>The girl have so little and still manage to be happy.
I hope somebody can help her to be ready for the program.
She needs advice in fashion, fix her teeth and need some speaking lessons…
Despite of all that…she still projects some special and unique beauty…Who knows, maybe we can have a repetition of My Fair Lady story…</p>

<p>I little off topic, but Idol related. I am watching Katherine McPhee on Jimmy Kimmel, and she is completely unrecognizable to me. She is blond and much more hip looking - a definite image change.</p>

<p>Did anyone see Jimmy Fallon last night doing a Neil Young imitation, singing Pants on the Ground? It was really very very good!!</p>

<p>LOVIN Larry and Pants on the Ground, and the message he is trying to send, good for him!!!</p>

<p>For the first time I am SO excited about AI because I actually know someone who is competing this year. On Orlando audition night, look for (and join me in rooting for) the school bus driver. He is from our town and was my D’s counselor in summer rec - what a talented young man (as they all are - I wouldn’t be able to be a judge!!). He did a great job (as he is contracted to do) keeping it a secret, but since we haven’t seen him in town for quite a while we are hoping for good things…</p>
