The Lyrics

I'm officially hooked on this song. Best Idol audition ever, even if that's not saying much. This song is off the hook! Somebody give this guy a record deal!
That Larry Platt song has a catchy refrain
He thinks that youngsters are a little insane
Pants on the ground?
No, no, no, no, no!
Ooh-ee-ooh!
You think that it's cool, but now you look like a fool
Pants on the ground

You wanna try out for those idle fiends?
This sh** is funnier than Mr. Bean
Pants on the ground?
No, no, no, no, no!
Ooh-ee-ooh!
A mouth full of gold, and then your slacks hit the floor
Pants on the ground

Pants on the ground -- grrrrosss!
Pants on the ground -- Fools!
Don't bring 'em down -- Brrrruce!
Pants on the ground

Thank Fallon for this song I'd never know
I saw on Yahoo! spoofed on Tonight Show
Pants on the ground
Go, go, go, go, go!
L-O-L!
I'll watch it once more before I laugh on the floor
Pants on the ground

He was a figure in the Civil Rights
But nowadays he's getting big soundbytes
Pants on the ground
Ha, ha, ha, ho, ho!
Hoo-hee-hoo!
I'm laughing once more, and now my butt's on the floor
Pants on the ground

Pants on the ground -- Dudes!
Pants on the ground -- Rrrrude!
Pants on the ground -- Grrross!
Pants on the ground

AI contestants are a pain in the ass
But here's a guy who really made me laugh
Pants on the ground
Go, go, go, go, go!
Hoo-hee-hoo!
Too bad he's too old, because he'd get all my votes
Pants on the ground

(interlude)

You got me shakin', got me laughin' away
They don't make pop music like this everyday
"Pants on the Ground"
No, no, no, no, no!
Well, who knew?
I'll say it once more, the number of words is four
"Pants on the Ground" (Ground, Ground, Ground, ...)

I'll say it once more, because I'm hitting the floor
"Pants on the Ground" (echo)

Don't know what this is in reference to (I don't watch the show) but it's still funny
Michael Pacholek - January 19, 2010 - Report this comment
I don't get the reference either, but Nicklas Bendtner would approve.
