Ah, I wondered... wasn't sure if it was SN acting up again!
Anyway, we're still looking for answers to 2, 6, 7 and 9. Oh, and it turns out I can't spell... For question 7, the first one should be "Le Marseillaise", as in the French National Anthem.

Sarge is correct with 2 and 6 - I had to try and get an Alaska question in there!
Jim is also correct with 9. Some of the theories for who it was are more tenuous than others.
Just the one left now then...

No.7 is, I think, "All You Need Is Love" by the Beatles. Le Marseillaise provides the song intro, and Yesterday and She Loves You are referenced later on in the song.

You answer is correct Sir. As you say, Le Marseillaise is the intro, then in the repeated "love is all you need" at the end, the word "yesterday" is sung in place of one, then a couple of repetitions later, they switch to "she loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah" as it fades out.
All done. Hope that was a distraction for a while!
