However, Larry is getting upset because he is getting no money from his newfound fame. He's now looking for a lawyer in the hopes of making some money from what he calls 'the greatest song ever created about pants being on the ground'.
Problem is Platt never copyrighted the song ... so he's looking to hire an attorney to help him snag a slice of the "Pants" craze while he can.
Larry has said that he is a fan of Brett Favre's version of the song, and is open to a recording of the song as a duet if Favre wants.
However, he may be getting a record deal from Jake Records so maybe he will make some money soon and be able to sell his own official t-shirts.
