Carrie Underwood and Queen Latifah put their Pants on the Ground in honor of the Super Bowl.
FORT LAUDERDALE -- Carrie Underwood and Queen Latifah put their Pants on the Ground in honor of the Super Bowl.
The singers, who are performing the pregame entertainment before Super Bowl XLIV on Sunday, broke into a rendition of the American Idol sensation Pants on the Ground on Thursday.
The song has become a pop-culture sensation in the past month since Larry Platt sang it on the Fox show. Vikings QB Brett Favre then sang it in the team's locker room after a playoff win against the Cowboys.
Underwood, a former winner of American Idol, was joking asked about the cultural significance of the song:
A Grammy-award winning artist, Underwood said she was slightly nervous about performing on the biggest stage in American sports.
"My biggest fear is the words," she said. "Of course you know the words. But if you're going to mess up, that'd be the time, right?"
Both artists said they would be rooting for the Saints in Sunday's game, perhaps a reflection of the national mood favoring the New Orleans team. Colts QB Peyton Manning said on Wednesday he realizes that the Colts will not be the sentimental favorite against the team that represents the city that was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Bengals WR Chad Ochocinco, serving as a reporter for his Ochocinco News Network, asked the final question to the duo. Latifah recalled a meeting with Ochocinco at a California auto body shop after he had signed with the Bengals out of Oregon State.
"I'm so proud of you," Latifah told Ochocinco. "You've grown so amazingly well." -- Sean Leahy

Underwood, a former winner of American Idol, was joking asked about the cultural significance of the song:
"As a songwriter I know we all aspire to write something that is catchy and has a message. And I think the youth of America can learn a lot from Pants on the Ground. And they can pull their pants up ... because it causes all kinds of back problems. I've seen the studies."
Underwood will sing the national anthem prior to Sunday's game between the Colts and the Saints. Latifah will perform America the Beautiful.
A Grammy-award winning artist, Underwood said she was slightly nervous about performing on the biggest stage in American sports.
"My biggest fear is the words," she said. "Of course you know the words. But if you're going to mess up, that'd be the time, right?"

Pants on the Ground Guy NOT Dead (VIDEO)

Larry Platt, known as the Pants on the Ground Guy, is NOT dead, despite a heated internet rumor to the contrary. The 63-year-old Platt was rumored to have been murdered in front of an Atlanta convenience store by gang members who became enraged when he sang his hit song, "Pants on the Ground." Now, does that sound true to you? It's not. According to Platt's own website, he's not dead.
Platt became famous when he sang a song he wrote about young men wearing their pants too low, for an American Idol audition in Atlanta. And although Platt didn't make it to Hollywood (he's too old) his song, "Pants on the Ground" became a viral hit on YouTube, with more than six million views.
According to Wikipedia, several celebrities sang their own versions of the song, including "late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon, who performed a version of the song while also impersonating Neil Young on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. NFL quarterback Brett Favre was also caught leading the Minnesota Vikings in a performance of the song in their locker room following their game against the Dallas Cowboys in the 2010 NFL playoffs. Today Show hosts Meredith Viera, Matt Lauer, Al Roker and Ann Curry also organized a performance of the song."
