As far as we re concerned American Idol can end right now because its winner has already been found There is no justice if this season is not handed to 63 year old Larry Platt of Atlanta who won our hearts minds and ears Wednesday night with his performance of Pants on the Ground The song is apparently the creation of Mr Platt who at the very end of the show was permitted to perform the tune and accompanying choreography for the entertainment of the show s judges Mary J Blige and about 30 million home viewers The lyrics seem to consist mostly of the phrase pants on the ground along with some other words we couldn t quit

make out Watch it here We were not the only viewers who went to bed dreaming of Pants on the Ground and woke up with it still on the tips of our tongues Minutes after the East Coast broadcast of American Idol ended the phrase pants on the ground and its cousin pantsontheground were trending topics on Twitter Bootlegs of the video were posted all over YouTube along with this clip from a user named jfskinnyelvis who had the foresight to record Mr Platt during American Idol auditions last summer It s almost like seeing the Beatles at the Cavern Club isn t it Meanwhile fans like miproduktions who couldn t wait for Moby Soulja Boy or Girl Talk get their hands on the song are creating remixes like this one soon to be sold on mixtapes at your favorite shady corner Have you dared to record your own version of Pants On the Ground or are you otherwise obsessed with the song Pull up your pants post a comment and let us know
