The Rock's Morning Rumble has immortalised its admiration of Patrick Gower with a song all about Newshub's preeminent political reporter.
Set to a Warren G instrumental, the song traverses a bunch of Gower's most notable characteristics - including his political prowess, his aptitude for broadcasting and his recent stint as Leaders Debate host.
Below are the full lyrics:
You see him on Newshub on TV3,
But you know this n***a's better known as Paddy G
He helps us decide which ministers to choose,
Paddy G telling us "This is the f**kin' news"
Smoothest motherf**ker hosting leaders debates,
With Jacinda and Bill, someone had to regulate
Only one man you know, a thug with the power,
Political reporter, our homie Paddy Gower
Newshub.
