“Pants on the Ground” making star out of 63-year-old man
No big surprise that Atlanta man Larry Platt, now 63, has become an overnight Internet sensation with that catchy original song “Pants on the Ground” that he performed before “American Idol” judges.
Comments on his performance took over Twitter and Facebook mid-performance. A video was quickly downloaded on YouTube, and registered well over a million views as of early Friday afternoon. Fan pages for “Pants on the Ground” have thousands and thousands and thousands of followers.
The song has already been remixed, and you can download ringtones.
Don’t miss Platt when he sings “Pants on the Ground” on “The View” Monday morning (Jan. 18, 11 a.m. ET, ABC).
Wanna start singing along? Here are the “official” lyrics:
Pants on the ground 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’ downtown with your pants on the ground
Get it up, hey! Get your pants off the ground Lookin’ like a fool Walkin’ talkin’ with your pants on the ground.
Get it up, hey! Get your pants off the ground Lookin’ like a fool with your pants on the ground
