The outrageous "Pants On The Ground" song first introduced on AMERICAN IDOL by 62 year old Atlanta singer, General Larry Pratt, may be a biggest hit not currently on a disc or the charts right now. YouTube has numerous remixes posted, and Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Farve even did a locker room version, as well as comic Jimmy Fallon and many others have covered the song.
As catchy and good as the song is, it seems that General Larry Pratt never copyrighted the song. But he's taking steps to do that. And a record company, Jake Records, has now offered Pratt a recording contract deal, which should bring "Pants On The Ground" to Cd and hopefully the charts very soon.
General Larry Pratt has become a phenomenon of sorts since his outrageous appearance on AMERICAN IDOL, even guesting on THE VIEW and other appearances. His song is something of a novelty, and has huge hit novelty potential. But is General Larry Pratt a one hit wonder or not? Time will tell.

And why would anyone pay for a CD when not only the audio, but the entire video can be had for free. To think this guy can produce something like it a second time is nonsensical.
This is nothing but a publicity stunt by Jake Records.

Hello, Marc. It's this guy's Andy Warhol's "15 minutes of fame". I wish him all the best to market his goofy catch phrased song as a one hit wonder.
Sometimes all it takes is one goofy little catch phrase to make a hit single or a cultural phenomenon. Strangely, his goofy song might just be the biggest AMERICAN IDOL hit this year.
But can the guy do a whole album? Time will tell.
