The Dallas-Minnesota game ended with the Vikings moving on to the NFC Championship, but the excitement didn't end there: In the victorious post-game locker room, Brett Favre led his teammates in a rendition of "Pants on the Ground."

If you're one of the few people left who hasn't caught on with the latest American Idol phenomenon, let the Pants on the Ground Wiki entry inform you:
During the Atlanta auditions, 62-year-old professor Dr. 'General' Larry Platt appeared and performed his own original song, "Pants on the Ground." Platt was ineligible to continue, due to the show's age limit of 28 years old; however, his performance became a viral hit. The single "Pants on the Ground" is being remixed on popular broadcasting websites such as YouTube, but Platt's song has not been signed for a record deal, though it has been reported that Las Vegas based Jake Records has made an offer. Platt's song has been remixed by Shy, a deejay for Radio Now 100.9 in Indianapolis, Indiana. It premiered January, 16, 2010.
Now Favre has brought "Pants on the Ground" to an even larger audience than American Idol possesses, moving Larry Platt one step closer to becoming the new William Hung.
