Wow!, Good prizes:
1-7 correctly - Polar Bear with Queen (Freddie on vocals)
All questions correctly - Let Me Live-Original Version
(I've never listened it)
It's a pity, there are several answers that I don't know (Damn !)
- Polar Bear with Queen (Freddie on vocals)
I have it on mp3.. actually, I love this version of the song. Freddie sings very high almost all the way.
- Let Me Live-Original Version...
I have it on CD.. Maybe the mp3 offered here is the one I uploaded some months (years?) ago?? :S
Anyway, it's a great Quiz...

Wiley, the Let Me Live MP3 I have is not the same as the one on Made In Heaven. But I completely agree with you about Polar Bear. I also have Goin' Back by Dusty Springfield (the non-Larry Lurex cover). You can check out my MP3 collection on my site. link
