Bohemian Rhapsody reminds of the “funny wrong lyrics” thing. The line “Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for meeee” sounded to me like “Beelzebub has the devil for a side-board, me, for me, for meeee”… ☺
Actually, this sounds more like an interrogation and less like a science quiz. Also, give the age of Galileo when he made his most important discovery, his residence at the time, the distance from his house to his place of work, the number of hours he worked, and the number of wives he had, if he had any, and then multiply all numerical data by 3.14.

Before Bohemian Rhapsody, we used to sing Galileo’s full name to the tune of “The Happy Wanderer”.
