American Idol Song of the Night: "Pants on The Ground"

From Latoya West, About.com GuideJanuary 13, 2010

Follow me on:

Am I the only one who has the song "Pants on the Ground" stuck in her head after Wednesday night's American Idol episode? The Atlanta auditions ended with 62-year-old auditioner Larry Platt rapping his original song "Pants On The Ground." The lyrics were so catchy, Randy Jackson joined in on the fun after the audition was over --and so did an entire room of auditioners.

Even though there was no way he was going through to Hollywood (After all, the age limit is 28), we think Larry Platt, who is a US veteran, deserves an honorable mention as one of Atlanta's best auditions. Here are the lyrics to his original rap song, "Pants on the Ground." (Listen up all of you guys out there with the pants sagging. You know who you are.)

"Pants on the Ground," by Larry Platt

Pants on the ground, pants on the ground

Looking 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, looking like a fool

Walking downtown with the your pants on the ground - Yeah!

Hey, get your pants off the ground...

"I don't think this will be the last we hear about you, Larry," Simon said. While we doubt there's a recording contract in Larry's future, maybe they could bring him back for the finale.

I liked his attitude and the funny song was catchy.
Also if he couldn’t go to Hollywood if he did go on, why let him participate if they knew his age?
Someone that can sing make that a HIT n Mr. Vet should dance to it..
