Culture Lesson: Pants On the Ground


The newest season of American Idol started last week, beginning its endless weeks of inane entertainment with auditions. The audition round usually produces its own stars, from William Hung to 62-year-old Larry Platt, the man featured above.

Platt's original song "Pants on the Ground" is one of this year's hits. Platt's song features a popular Old People theme: Pull Up Your Pants! I thought sharing this new meme would be a good idea. The lyrics are provided below:
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
Looking like a fool
Walking downtown with your pants on the ground
Get it up
Hey, get your pants off the ground
Looking like a fool
Walkin', talkin', with your pants on the ground
Get it up

Hey, get your pants off the ground
Looking like a fool with your pants on the ground
Gold in your mouth
Hat turned sideways
Pants hit the ground
Call yourself a cool cat
Looking like a fool
Walkin', talkin', with your pants on the ground
Boom, Uno, Dos, Tres
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
