While having a mouth full of golds and penchant for trousers that fall below your waist’s Mason-Dixon Line will get you a hot date with Lauren London but it won’t get you any respect from your elders!

American Idol’s 28-year age limit may have cut 62-year-old General Larry Platt’s dreams of making it to Hollywood short but the impact his song “Pants On The Ground” will have on pop culture this year is a rather nice parting gift.

Raise your right hand a repeat after me:

“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 sideway, pants hit the ground / Call yourself a cool cat, looking like a fool, walkin’ downtown with your pants on the ground!”
