He's The Next William Hung!

Either The View is in dire need of guests or this guy is about to BLOW UP!

Make room on your Ipods!

"General” Larry Platt, who gave our welcoming ears a taste of his brilliance on American Idol this week with Pants on the Ground, will be making an appearance on The View next week.

Of course, he will be delighting audiences with another rendition of his now viral hit and we imagine this will be the first of many more appearances by the 62 year-old virtuoso.

Just in case you have no idea what in hell we are talking about, check out the video of Larry above!

Make certain to mention that he isn't only famous for this, but that also he was also quite active during the civil rights movement.

I would buy this song on Itunes just so that he could get rewarded for his forward and fun way of telling it like it is.

How did he get into the audition room?

He didn't meet the age requirements, I'm sure they screen them. (I don't agree with the age requirements myself)

It was set up, still good for him! He deserves his 15 min of fame!!

He's so cute! I love this guy!

Not to mention, he's so right!
I predict we're going to see a lot of merchandise off of this, it will become a hit on iTunes, and nobody's pants will be on the ground.

The General is right. I am sooooo tired of seeing those kids and/or young men with their pants hanging down below their butt. Come on!!!
