The Minnesota Vikings brought the “pants on the ground” guy from American Idol with them to New Orleans for the NFC Championship game.

The team is hoping that General Larry Platt will be a good luck charm for them against the Saints on Sunday.

Brett Favre used Platt’s tune as the team’s victory song in the locker room last week after their win over the Dallas Cowboys.

Greg Coleman of KFAN reports that Platt will be on the sidelines for Sunday’s game. He also performed for the Vikings during a team meeting.

Vikings left tackle Bryant McKinnie captured the performance on his cell phone camera and posted it to YouTube.
