This is the most fun ever witnessed on the American Idol Fox reality show and it happened during the auditions for Season 9 American Idol 2010 in, you guessed it, Atlanta, GA.
And the following is a recap of that extraordinarily entertaining segment of the American Idol 2010 audition in Atlanta, GA. A gentleman appeared before the judges and introduced himself as “General” Larry Platt. At 62, Larry Platt has obviously surpassed the age limit for this competition a long, long time ago. Being intrigued, amused and undoubtedly curious, the judges were willing to allow him to proceed with the audition.
And “General” Larry Platt gave them an earful when he began rapping his very own and original song called “Pants on the Ground.”
“Pants on the Ground” lyrics are as follows:
Pants on the ground
Pants on the ground
Lookin’ like a fool with yo pants on the ground
With yo gold in yo 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
Walkin’, talkin’ with your pants on the ground
Get it up, hey, get your pants on the ground
Lookin’ like a fool with your pants on the ground
Gold in your mouth
Hat turned sideways
Call yourself a cool cat, yeah, lookin’ like a fool
Walkin’, talkin’ with your pants on the ground
Boom, boom, pants on the ground
Lookin’ like a fool with your pants on the ground
With your gold in your mouth
Hat turned sideways, pants hit the ground
Call yourself a cool cat
The judges were going wild while Larry Platt, never losing a beat, continued his rapping which was, by the way, accompanied by sleek dance movements to the cadence of his own raspy voice.
Sadly, “General” Larry Platt was not handed the golden ticket to Hollywood but he has become an instant American Idol legend in his own right as now everyone is talking about “Pants on the Ground” American Idol. No one can guess at his motive but we at American Buzz have no doubt that the “General” himself could not have expected so much attention when he brought the “Pants on the Ground” song before the judges and he could not have possibly imagined that so many “Pants on the Ground” videos would be circulating throughout the Internet. Even an American Idol Pants on the Ground spoof and a remix have been prepared.
If you have any additional information about “General” Larry Platt, please drop it into the “Comment” section which appears at the bottom of this page.
We at American Buzz want to congratulate General Larry Platt for being so much fun and we certainly hope that he himself is never caught with his own pants on the ground.

Does this page load slow for everyone else, its only this page? Thanks for the post.
Hi Edison,
It does seem to load a little on the slow side. Perhaps it is because I have a picture and the video. I don’t know for sure.
Although I am able to see everything almost immediately, I noticed in the lower left hand corner that it takes a while before that status changes from transferring to Done.
I am on a broadband connection. Are you?
