Oh boy! Do I sense a groundswell?!
Already gone viral. Completely Twitterpated. Totally YouTube-iversal.

>Completely Twitterpated.

Aww, brought me back to my Bambi days! Even people my age don't understand that word... what the heck?!

Loved the song, the message, Gen. Larry Pratt and his history!

From RTVW front page:

http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/american-idol-contestant-larry-platt-bringing-his-pants-the-view-10250.php

While Cowell pointed out after Platt was done that he exceeded the show's age limit by more than 30 years, he felt the song could become popular.

"I have a horrible feeling that song could be a hit," said Cowell during the episode. "I don't think this is the last we'll hear from you. I have a feeling about you Larry."

Cowell was correct, as footage of Platt's performance has since gone viral and become an Internet sensation.

"So many people calling, I can't keep up with it," Platt told USA Today. "Radio stations, TV stations, everybody keeps calling me."

Platt -- who once marched with Martin Luther King Jr. for civil rights and also worked with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee to organize sit-ins in Georgia -- said he received his nickname from civil rights leader Hosea Williams.

Go General!

The transition is very quick, bottom tambourine, behind.
