1/17/10 - Jimmy Fallon as Neil Young covering General Larry Platt

That's a title that probably won't ever be repeated on this blog.

With all of the hoopla about General Larry Platt's rendition of "Pants on the Ground" sung at the Atlanta tryouts of American Idol, I was looking at different versions of the song. There have been many remixes, some quite good, some blah. This one is different though. Jimmy Fallon, on his late night show, impersonates Neil Young and sings "Pants on the Ground".

Now General Larry Platt was known in Atlanta well before "Pants on the Ground." He was a civil rights worker, working with Martin Luther King, Jr. He is a huge community activist. On September 4, 2001, Atlanta declared, "Larry Platt" day. He has done a lot of things worth noting in his life, the least of which is his American Idol appearance, but that appearance has let people find out more about his worthy life. Hopefully, though, this will get young kids to pull their pants off the ground.

So here's Larry Platt Neil Young Jimmy Fallon singing Pants on the Ground:



Jimmy is pretty talented.
