“Pants On The Ground” Becomes A Viral Sensation On Facebook

-Pants On The Ground Icon-I had no idea what the phrase “Pants on the Ground” was referring to when I was sent an email about it this afternoon, but in under 24 hours, more than 74,000 people have become fans of the “Pants On The Ground” Facebook Page. 62-year-old General Larry Platt appeared on American Idol last night to audition with a song that he created.

After listening to the song one time around, I have to admit that I’m now hooked. The video is absolutely hilarious and I can understand why it has become so popular. General Larry Platt has come up with an insanely catchy song. The song lyrics are below

Pants on the ground, Pants on the ground,
You lookin’ like a fool with your pants on the ground.
With your gold in yo’ mouth with your hat turned sideways,
Pants hit the ground, call yourself a cool cat, lookin’ like a fool.
Walking downtown with your pants on the ground.

Get it up, get your pants off the ground.
Lookin’ like a fool, walking, talking, with your pants on the ground

The song is entertaining and General Larry Platt has a great intro to his song which you can watch in the video below. My guess is that the General has a great future ahead as his “Pants On The Ground” song has become a viral sensation.

  2. I love it! Hopefully it will cause a sensation and stop all these kids and some men to finally pull up their pants. I don't wish to see anymore butts or underwear!

    Thank you Mr.Platt
