  3. Dale BearmanPer Shazam, the actual lyric is tell them that it's in my genes. Genes, the family kind. Not denim.

  4. Brock ThundersonBiology?

  7. Dale BearmanNobody has confirmed how much this song actually earns its writers, so loads of money is unverified, and you are checking your trousers on live television.

  8. Brock ThundersonFound something. It's a receipt.

  9. Dale BearmanSo the only thing confirmed in anybody's jeans today is your car park ticket, Brock. Ask us yours at bbn. live.
