K.C. *eyes widen as another notification pops up on the Fly Pad* Guys! We have another dare! *waves them over*

Pip: *looks up from reading on his Fly Pad, curious* Who is it for?

K.C.: *checks the Fly Pad again to double-check* It's for the three of us

Freddy: *looks up from playing with the babies where they were spelling "eat the rich"* Who is it from? *stands up*

K.C.: It's from TheReal_Sal_Fisher *holds out the Fly Pad*

Freddy: *walks over to the koala and takes the Fly Pad* It says... *starts reading* I dare you to listen to the song "DNA"

Freddy: *raises his eyebrows as he hands the Fly Pad back* What's that?

Pip: Let me search it *moves out of the tab he was reading on and looks for the song, finally finding it* Here!

[Verse 1: V]
At first sight, I could recognize you
As if we were calling for each other
The DNA in my blood vessels tell me
That it's you I was looking all over for

Freddy: What's with these fancy math and science stuff? *tilts his head*

Pip: *unimpressed but still with a casual tone* Those math and science stuff aren't that fancy

K.C.: Okay there seems to be some musical structure here considering they don't only have a beat but also a distang melody in the background

[Verse 2: J-Hope, RM]
Our meeting is like a mathematical formula
Commandments of religion, providence of the universe;
The evidence of destiny given to me
You're the source of my dream
Take it, take it
My hand reaching out to you is my chosen fate

Pip: Am I taking all this in a gay context? *scoots a little farther from Freddy to control the gay* Maybe...

Freddy: That rapping was good though *nods his head* Not like the one compared to back at my home, but I suppose this is another culture

K.C.: And the musical structure is gone because they're not complementing each other enough, but I think they added an extra noted beat

[Pre-Chorus: Jungkook, V]
Don't worry, love
None of this is a coincidence
We're totally different, baby
Because we're the two who found our destiny

Pip: *sits still and tries to control the gay*

Freddy: *claps vigorously* Props to the editors and crew! These transitions are golden!

K.C.: I think they added guitars for the first part and dropped it *groans* This is why I like the London cast recording of Amélie. Way more musical structure

[Chorus: Jimin]
From the day of the universe's creation and beyond
Through the infinite centuries and beyond
In the previous life and maybe the next too
We're eternally together

Freddy: The camera angles are *chef's kiss*

Pip: *whispers* Can they please stop making me gay for someone...

K.C.: Excessive percussion. I get it's the base of all music but please try to add something, at least!

[Hook: Jungkook]
None of this is a coincidence
Because we're the two who found our destiny
DNA

Freddy: Who choreographed this? It's nice *smiles*

Pip: *hides his face* Brain. Please. Stop. Applying. These. Lyrics. To. Someone.

K.C.: So I think they added some guitar so I guess that's fine

[Verse 3: Suga, RM]
I want it this love I want it real love
I only focus on you
You steer me a little harder
The DNA of the genesis wants you
This is inevitable, I love us
We are the only true lovers

Freddy: Uh... It's peppy, I guess? *gives an empty smile*

Pip: So "real love" is romantic love? *scoffs*

K.C.: And we're back to percussion *sighs*

[Verse 4: Jungkook, Suga]
Every time I see her, I freak out
Surprisingly, I keep gasping and it's weird, maybe
This is the emotion they call love
Because from the very beginning, my heart runs to you

Freddy: I like the backgrounds, also *smiles*

Pip: NO! *eyes widen in fear and terror as he hears the lyrics, feeling his heart crack in a million piece* IT'S A STRAIGHT SONG!

K.C.: And still the excessive percussion

[Pre-Chorus: Jin]
Don't worry, love
None of this is a coincidence
We're totally different, baby
Because we're the two who found our destiny

Freddy: Their vocals and singing are also really nice and smooth! *stares with his mouth open in awe*

Pip: *still shocked by the straight revelation*

K.C.: *raises her eyebrows* Very distant guitar?

[Chorus: Jungkook, Jimin]
From the day of the universe's creation and beyond
Through the infinite centuries and beyond
In the previous life and maybe the next too
We're eternally together

Freddy: But seriously they have so many transitions!

Pip: *whispers to himself as his eyebrows furrow in sadness and frowns* Why can't they have kept the first-person and second-person pronouns?

K.C.: And still percussion

[Hook: Jungkook]
None of this is a coincidence
Because we're the two who found our destiny
DNA

Freddy: *smiles in awe* The vocals are good though

Pip: *stares at the ground* I can't trust music anymore

K.C.: *raises her eyebrows* Synthesiser? *shrugs* Eh... At least they added something

[Bridge: V, Jin, Jungkook, Jimin]
Don't look back
Because we're the two who found our destiny
Don't regret it, baby
Because we're forever
Forever
Forever
Forever
Forever
We are together

Freddy: Ooh nice vocals! *smiles with even more awe*

Pip: *hides his face* I regret so much!

K.C.: *crosses her arms* So... no instrument? *raises her eyebrows*

[Pre-Chorus: Jungkook, Jimin]
Don't worry, love
None of this is a coincidence
We're totally different, baby
Because we're the two who found our destiny

Freddy: This song is an absolute bop! *smiles as he starts nodding his head*

Pip: *curls up into a ball* I'm too traumatised to say anything...

K.C.: *shakes her head* I'm not even gon say anything else about the musical structure because it's non-existent

[Outro: J-Hope, Jungkook]
La la la la la
La la la la la
Because it's not a coincidence
La la la la la
La la la la la
Because it's not a coincidence
