Aaron estimates his driver’s net worth based on his cereal habits
As Aaron jogs to the plinth and notices the boot, he asks Tom Cashman whether the task is cowboy themed. When Tom merely shrugs, Aaron tells him that he could just say no.
As Aaron climbs into the taxi, the driver says “Hi, Aaron. I’m Tony.”, and Aaron immediately asks “What’s your name, Tony?”. In an attempt to buy himself some extra time, Aaron then asks Tony to drive slowly, claiming that he gets motion sickness.
Aaron’s country song is titled ‘Tony the Lion’, and is partially sung, partially spoken. His video features him wearing a cowboy hat and sitting among hay bales. At one point, he appears to be urinating, but it turns out that he’s just using a hose. During the video, Aaron also eats from a huge bowl of cereal. Tom Cashman also appears in the video as Tony, wearing a blue wig, and Aaron bows to him.
The lyrics to Aaron’s song are as follows:
They call me 5:30 Tony
But I don’t think that encapsulates me
I’m Tony the Lion, can’t you see?
And I drive a premium SUV
I get up in the morning before my son
I can’t even see the sun
I toilet, I wash my hands, I wash my face
I get it ready for the rat race
‘Cause I’m Tony the Lion
I eat my cereal
There’s seven types —
Weet-brick, weet-brick, weet-brick
And four other types
I can afford it. I don’t care
I’m a billionaire
Tony the Lion
I come in and I meet the first AD
I see a little guy, cool as can be
I tell him what I do with all my stuff and how much it costs
$5-million house
$78,000 car
$5,000 coffee machine
$58 on cereal
Every single day
Money is extremely powerful
And you’d be a fool not to know that
In the studio, Tom Gleeson states that his favourite part was the spoken word section, which he says was a welcome break from Aaron’s singing.
When Tom questions how Tony is a billionaire with a $5-million house, and yet drives a taxi, Aaron states “I’m starting to call bullshit on the seven boxes of cereal”, and explains that he’d based Tony’s net worth estimate entirely on that cereal count. Pete jokes that Aaron might’ve just asked Tony what his favourite cereal was seven times.
Aaron earns 2 points for his song.
