Same, although I know Shazam does most of its work on very high frequencies so it’s possible we’re not able to hear the part that got matched.

The “Not Like Us” snippet (09/29 2:43pm) is easily recognizable though. And “Rockabye” can be heard at 3:05pm.

Are you sure about that? High frequencies don't propagate as well (and, beyond a point, aren't reproduced at all by cheap speakers), so that would seem to limit its effectiveness pretty severely.
