In the hours since he created a little piece of TV gold, American Idol’s General Larry Platt already has earned a Facebook fan page and, according to the 62-year-old’s official site, a marriage proposal. And his bio continues to take shape: Idol Chatter reports that Platt earned the nickname “General” for his heroic efforts during the civil rights movement—he even has his own day named after him! September 4, 2001 is Larry Platt Day in Atlanta, when the city honors “his priceless and immeasurable contributions to society; and for other purposes.” We’re guessing “other purposes” include “creation of the first zeitgeist-sweeping anthem of 2010.” Behind the jump, groove to the day’s first batch of “Pants on the Ground” remixes. More to come. All year, probably.
Pants on the Ground Hip-Hop Remix
Pants on the Ground Auto-Tune Version #1
Pants on the Ground Auto-Tune Version #2
Pants on the Ground Club Mix
Pants on the Ground Funk Remix
Pants on the Ground Acoustic
Pants on the Ground Rootsy Remix
Pants on the Ground Slowjam Mix
Pants on the Ground in Technicolor (the Hype Williams-esque version)
But of course, as always, nothing beats the original.
Could Platt’s insta-hit “Pants on the Ground” be inspired by the 2007 campaign in Dallas for menfolk to stop their pants from saggin’? Even that resulted in a hip-hop song called “Pull Your Pants Up“! Who knew low-hung jeans would be the muse for such delicious musical offerings?
Here is a remix that I did for Larry Platt's “Pants On The Ground” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gcdGH2QfWc

This song is going to set off a huge trend in US society. After all, who wants to be that guy walking down the street with your pants sagging down and then hear someone yell out “Lookin like a fool wit yo pants on the ground”.
What needs to happen and WILL happen.
1. General Larry Platt with record the song.
2. He will have a video for the song where he takes kids off the streets and makes them go belt shopping. The kids will buy the biggest thickest belts at the store and a belt buckle with the most bling bling.
3. Society will follow and the trend for 2010 – 2011 will be young guys wearing thick belts with bling bling.
4. Jean makers will see the trend and will start to design jeans that have larger belt loops so people can wear thicker belts.
5. All the stores will have racks upon racks of thick belts and faux bling bling buckles.
The general will be the cause of the biggest trend for the next few years and people will begin to forget that American Idol and General Larry Platt were responsible.
neve gonna happen alt will never the them or us forget Larry

I love how you ripped off the photo of General Larry Platt from my website http://GeneralLarryPlatt.com — don't feel bad, Yahoo and LA Times took it also and gave me no credit. :) I actually took that photo from my paused LCD television. Turned out pretty good. I'm flattered you all liked it enough to use it for your article on the General.
