Jimmy's terrible rap

Jimmy decides to write a theme song about the moment when he first appeared on TV, in the show Rove Live, as a celebrity look-alike.

His song alternates between a very bad rap and a very bad guitar-based folk song.

The lyrics are as follows:

[rapped] I was chillin' at home,
In my house.
What age, you ask?
I was a teen.
I was mildly pimply,
Eating chips,
Playing Nintendo,
And I had a dream.
I suppose I'd better tell you
About that said dream,
Or this song wouldn't really go anywhere,
And it'd be rather obscene.
Or speaking of 'scene',
That's what I waited.
In my dream, I seen, on the small screen,
I saw myself.
So buckle up,
I'll tell you how I first was seen on said small screen.
[sung] This is what I dreamed of, when I first walked into the TV
I dreamed that I'd be...
You know, be faffing...
People'd be faffing about,
All around me.
I...I...There'd be hair,
And make-up,
And the... And the costume department,
Dressing me in all kind of groovy attire.
And there'd be faffing...
I already mentioned faffing, didn't I?
Because I love TV
And it's always been my dream.
[rapped] I was on Rove Live as a look-alike.
I didn't even know,
Caught by surprise.
It was a bit of a gotcha,
I was like, "What the...?"
I was on Rove Live as a look-alike.
I didn't even know,
Caught by surprise.
It was a bit of a gotcha,
And I was like, "Wh-wh-what the...?"

His performance ends with him getting annoyed at Tom Cashman for pointing a leaf-blower, which they'd been using as a wind machine, at him for too long.

In the studio, Tom Gleeson notes that it was a bit hard to watch, and that he'd kind of hoped that things were set up like on the show The Voice, except that his chair would spin around to face away from the performance. Tom awards him last place.
