Tactical Pants on the Ground?

Every corner we turn in Internet land brings us back to the same video: “Pants on the Ground”.

The American Idol snippet has been bestowed the honor of 2010′s first viral video. The inescapable YouTube clip isn’t so much a video as a song — a song about pants (unfortunately not tactical pants!). And like every viral video, it’s been remixed, acoustified (again, again and again) and beat boxed. Actually, here’s a list of its top 10 remixes.

Do you think we should commission songwriter and gifted performer Larry Platt to write a tactical version of “Pants on the Ground”? Here’s what the lyrics might look like:

Tac pants on the ground?
There’s no tac pants on the ground!
Lookin’ very cool with your pants belted right.
Now your pants won’t hit the ground…
When you’re on the clock, lookin’ very cool
Walking downtown with your tac pants on — yeah!
Get your tac pants on!

Hmmm … then again, maybe we’ll leave songwriting up to Mr. Platt. He certainly seems to have a knack for catchy lyrics.
