This is the Daily Wire search for the official Sweet Baby Gang anthem.
Hello everybody and welcome to the search for the Sweet Baby Gang anthem.
I am your host, Michael Knowles.
I am joined by my fellow Daily Wire hosts, Ben Shapiro, Andrew Clavin, and the man of the hour, Matt Wolfe.
Now the winner of this contest is in for a real treat.
He will get all of our most recent books.
He will also become a part of the Matt Walsh Show legacy.
He will be featured in his very song at the introduction to the Reading the Comments section of Matt's show.
Now Matt, I am told that the Sweet Baby Gang Has a special name for you.
They do.
They do.
Sweet Daddy Walsh is what they call me.
That's my official name.
Sweet Daddy Walsh.
And I expect to be addressed likewise by all of you.
Yes, Daddy.
Thank you.
Drew!
Never mind.
Actually, don't call me that.
Are you sure?
Papa?
Daddy?
Alright.
I've changed my mind.
Andrew Klavan.
What do you want?
The leader of Klavanon.
The master of the multiverse.
Where were you when you first heard of the Sweet Baby Gang?
I was sitting here during the introduction.
I want to say that this is, this may be the most humiliating moment of my life.
I looked at that picture of the baby Walsh and I now have a tick, I have a small twitch from the trauma.
And if these lights flashing around give me a seizure, I am suing Ben Shapiro back into the Stone Age.
I want you to know that.
So I'm thrilled to be here.
Well, speaking of Ben Shapiro, Ben.
It's great, obviously, to have you as a judge here.
Does it feel weird that you are going to have to judge on behalf of your daddy?
When do I get to fire everyone?
When?
Well, you'll get to make at least some firing decisions when you hear all of the songs.
Some of them are gonna go.
I know you're all very excited to get to the contest, so here is how it works.
We have taken all of the submissions sent in over the past week, we've narrowed it down to the top five finalists.
Our skilled judges are going to listen to about a minute of each song, and after careful consideration, they will select their top two picks.
Then we turn it over to you at home.
After this broadcast, you can log on to dailywire.com slash sbg and you will have 24 hours to cast your vote for the Sweet Baby Gang anthem.
Is everybody ready to get started?
Absolutely.
Here is our first entry.
It is titled "Theocratic Funk" by Da Sweetest Baby.
[MUSIC - DA SWEETEST BABY, "WOE IS ME"]
♪ Who is me ♪ I'm in need of a sweet daddy
knees [Music]
Lately, I've been feeling like a baby.
Cause Matt washes here.
He quells all of my fears.
King of the Daily Wired His polka dots be looking funky fresh
He can't sleep at night 'Cause there ain't enough black geologists
We need more diversity in the geological sciences!
The Daily Show with Drew McIntyre Gentlemen, Drew I'll start with you.
What do you think?
You know, I would have aged several years just watching that if I had several more years to live, which I don't, so I think it's a very dangerous, dangerous song for me.
Yep.
Ben?
That sounded like a hippopotamus being hit by an airplane.
The remains then being collected You took us on a journey with that one.
So did that song.
And so did that song.
Matt, what's your take?
I have to disagree with my fellow judges.
I thought that it was fresh.
It was current.
It felt relevant.
And I also thought that it was beautiful, and the lyrics touched me very, very deeply.
That was tremendous.
Moving along to our next entry.
This one is called Walsh's Anthem by Joshua Royal Watham.
Who makes a Twitter mob fly off the handle with rage?
Who's to blame?
It's a sweet baby game.
I mean, this is pretty good.
Come on.

Drew, your thoughts.
Well, you know, I have to admit my mind drifted for a moment.
I was thinking about the time I had dignity.
But actually, when I came back, that was actually pretty funny, I have to say.
That was amusing.
Mildly amusing.
It was musical.
It had some rhythm.
Ben?
That was better.
I mean, it was.
Now, admittedly, the standard was what came just before it.
But still, like, on a scale of one to ten, that was at least a four.
That's something.
Better than zero.
Matt?
I thought it couldn't get better than the last one, and this somehow exceeded even those expectations.
I wanted to hear more of it.
I mean, that becomes music into my ears, and it's now the music of my heart.
I found it to be... We very well might hear more of it a little bit later, maybe every single day on the show.
But before we make any of those decisions, we have an entry from Andrew Werner.
It's titled, Put Em Up If You're Down.
Yeah!
We the sweet babies, driving liberals crazy.
We play that wire daily.
No offense to Ben or Michael, most Candace or Andrew Clavin.
Daddy Walsh is our default.
He never faults us to bring the news and he brings it greatly.
Leftists claim he's racy.
He's everything-o-phobic.
Well wipe them tears, I'll get my mug and tell you when.
Ben, I'd like to start this time with you.
Your immediate reaction.
♪ You hear the babies asking Ben to give Sweet Daddy ♪ ♪ Watch a big promotion ♪
♪ So put 'em up if you're down with the baby gang ♪ ♪ Put 'em up if you're down with the baby gang ♪
Well, as a platinum award-winning rapper, in my own right, let me just say that it's,
comparing the size and weight various piles of steaming sh*t.
(beep)
is actually difficult when you don't have a proper scale.
And so, you sort of have to just eyeball it.
And so, to be honest with you, between number one and number two, and they're all number two, but between number one and number two and number three, number three falls somewhere between one and two.
It's not as bad as the first one.
Oh, wow.
It's not as good as the third one.
It's somewhere in the middle, but again, we are now just grading gradations of absolute horse horse.
I mean, wow.
Okay.
Drew?
You know, when I lived in England, I had a hernia.
And because they have that universal health care, they don't give you painkillers.
They literally just give you aspirin and tell you to have a stiff upper lip.
And it was possibly the most painful experience of my life until this.
Fair.
Harsh, but fair.
Matt?
I didn't think it was fair.
In fact, I'm offended on behalf of these contestants who put their heart and soul into making this music.
And for them to be treated this way, I find to be personally hurtful to me.
And as far as the song went, I thought, you know, I can imagine, if I could say, the homies on the block bumping that.
In their rides as they're going down the street.
I think it's, to me, it felt hip.
It felt relevant.
It's something that I can imagine the kids are gonna really connect with on a deep level.
It really speaks to the people and what's going on in the streets.
Yeah, I thought so.
I thought so.
Daddy is gonna stick up for his babies.
No question about it.
Up next, we've got The Sweet Baby Gang by Globule.

Matt, let's start with you.
I mean, once again, I feel that each song gets somehow better and better than the one before it.
And this, again, every single one, I think to myself, can I imagine young people at a party playing that song and dancing, you know, dancing the jig and stuff.
The polka, yeah.
Yeah, and I say for that, absolutely.
I thought it was a tremendous song.
Loved every second of it.
Drew?
Well, you know, I watched it very closely, and I think the one thing I can say, this is just a guess, but just from eyeballing it, I feel that no animals were hurt during the making of that song.
And I think as long as we, I love animals, and as long as we can say that, I think we can safely say the animals are safe for another day.
Bem, so, frankly, I think that we should all be honored that the creator of the theme to Malcolm in the Middle, also, Wrote this particular theme.
Yeah.
And I very much look forward to Frankie Muñoz's appearance on the Sweet Ba... What's it called?
The Sweet Baby... Sweet Baby Gang.
Sweet Baby Gang.
Why?
Why is it called that?
For our final video, it comes to us from the Columbia County Coyotes.
And this is their song.
They're a little presumptuous with this title, I think.
It's called Sweet Baby Gang Anthem.
I'm giving my money to every single show.
I'm grateful to Mr. Matty to be so in the know.
We live so much freer when you don't need to be woke.
So I'll keep on giving 'til the day that I go blue Get in line, get in line and all the secret glue
Were those sweet baby games (Take it down, baby, come on, baby)
Were those sweet baby games (Make sure that you give time to me)
Were those sweet baby games Got a real Monkeys vibe from that one.
Maybe that could be a TV show in itself.
Ben?
You know, history is filled with the stories of people who make great sacrifices, martyr themselves for great causes.
The Christians sacrificing themselves to the lions in Roman amphitheaters, and the Jews before the Spanish Inquisition in 1492.
And me, listening to these songs.
History is really, you know, and I think one day, when people look back at my life, which, if I have to listen to any more of these, will be, like, the expiration date is moving faster.
When they look back and they look at my legacy, they're gonna think, the sacrifices he made on behalf of the sweet... It's right there, it's a sweet baby cake.
Oh, the sweet baby cake.
On behalf of that, it was a great sacrifice.
I feel as though someone had taken a jackhammer, planted it directly In my right temple.
And then just gone to town.
Yeah.
That's kind of what it felt like, to be honest with you.
Robert E. Lee has been described as a great man who gave his career to a terrible cause.
Drew.
Yeah, I thought you were describing me there for a minute.
You know, I felt such a surge of joy when I realized that this was the last time I was going to have to see that baby Matt Walsh tumbling across the stage, except when he comes to work, that I may have kind of overrated this song.
You know, I enjoyed the baby.
I like babies.
Babies are cute, you know?
And so it was awful.
It was just terrible.
I'm sorry.
Terrible.
I was trying to say something nice, but I just couldn't get there.
It was bad.
I tried.
Matt?
Just picking up on Ben's sort of theological, spiritual theme.
When I was listening to that song, I could really imagine myself at the end of my own life climbing up the steps into the sky and the pearly gates open and the choirs of angels are singing that song.
That's what I was thinking.
It was a beautiful song is what I mean.
Judges, in front of you is an official Sweet Baby ballot.
I need you to highlight your top two finalists.
All right, let's collect these ballots.
I'll give it a quick look around here.
We've got Drew.
Alright.
He's got two choices there.
I'm not sure I totally agree with them, but that's fine.
We've got Ben included a little message there on his, it would seem.
Little SOS.
And Matt highlighted the entire ballot.
I thought they were all winners in my book.
This is how Joe Biden became president.
The... I suppose there's a bit of a tie.
Can we play them all again and reflect deeper on this?
No, we certainly cannot.
Okay.
In the event of a tie, I don't know if the judges back there or the producers can... Can I be a tie-breaking vote?
I don't... Is that... Alright, good.
I'm glad because I'm actually a little bit scandalized.
Here they are.
The two finalists are Walsh's Anthem by Joshua Royal Wathen and Put Him Up If You're Down by Andrew Warner.
