ANSWERS (And Contest Results!): Squeezed in the Middle 9

It's been almost two weeks since I've posted "Squeezed in the Middle 9", and since it's a Contest Puzzle, I think it's time for me to reveal not only the answers, but who won the signed copy of the October 2017 issue of GAMES Magazine that I got published in! First, a list of people who have solved this puzzle since it got published:
  • Grant Fikes ****
  • M. Sean Molley **** (He's already a subscriber, so he doesn't want the prize)
  • Pavel Curtis ****
  • Eric Maddy ****
  • Sam Levitin ****
  • Mom **** (ineligible; it'd be like giving the prize to myself!)
  • Chris Hendricks ****
  • Lynn Sweeney ****
  • Debbie Benford ****
  • Dan Simonds *
Since ten people have solved this puzzle, there will be TWO copies given away to two randomly-chosen winners! The winners are: Lynn Sweeney and Grant Fikes! Congratulations, you two!

Now just go below the break for the answers, along with some solver comments!


 The letters in the brown squares spell out BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY


Patron M. Sean Molley got it quickly, saying that "After BOUNCER and OBERTH the only possible answer is BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY. :)"

Patron Pavel Curtis said that "I guessed it strictly from the enumeration, and then had fun proving it by solving the clues... :-)"

Patron Chris Hendricks has a "Confession: I like the Muppets version of the song better than the original."
