    Take the Bohemian Rhapsody quiz!

    More people seemed to know the lyrics to this song than "heart of the sunrise" when the California Guitar Trio played it at Nearfest but just how well do you really know it? Take the quiz and find out.

    So you think you can _____ me and spit in my eye.

    I think I originally had "stop me" which is wrong. I'm not sure what the other one was.

    I got a perfect score...the second time I did it. I missed one line the first time through. I always thought it was "So you think can stomp me and spit in my eye", which it apparently isn't. As someone who actually sang along with every of word of a Queen tribute band not once, but twice (well, almost twice...I honestly didn't know most of the words of The Show Must Go On, but the bass player still recognized what I did when I talked to him after the show), my shame is a difficult burden to shoulder. Well, not that difficult, it is an easy line to miss, I just can't believe I made it through the rather tricky opera bit with my intact, only to be felled by two letters! Oy!

    Oh, and the California Guitar Trio performance of the song at NEARfest ranks as one of the true highlights of my concert going life.

    I used to think it was "stop me" until I read the sheet music long ago. 26/26.

    25/26. Really a great memorable song.

    And here I thought I would only get the one line that resonates with me : "Just killed a man." LOL

    Damn those articles! 24/25.

    Not bad for never having owned the music.

    25/26...I was sure it was 'so you think you can stop me'...guess it was stomp...

    25.26 here. I got No. 23 wrong.

    Many of them, the alternatives just make no sense. I think I would have got 23 or 24 correct even without having the alternatives supplied; I would have bombed out on the bit that comes just before "We will not let you go".

    Time now for the follow-up: "Solar Prestige a Gammon" by Elton John and Bernie Taupin.

    Full marks, but then I studied this at the time of release, with the enthusiasm that only a 15 year old teen could muster, it will never leave me.

    I took my daughter to see Ed Sheeran last night and she was word perfect for the whole gig. and that's no mean feat considering the amount of lyrics he rattles through. Once again it's that 15 year old thing!

    Got all 26. Not sure if I should be proud or sad. Misspent youth ...

    That's the one I also had wrong, exactly the same. I scored 25/26.
