2 - one of them is Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale" I think, and the other will be Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". Haven't looked at the rest of the questions yet ... | ||

No 8 has to be either a Beatles or a Stones song, doesn't it? I'll hazzard a guess at "Love Me Do" from the Beatles. | ||

6 - Something Wicked This Way Comes. Nearly caught me with that as I knew it was Bradbury and thought, for obvious reasons, that it was The October Country, then thought of the story and realised Something Wicked... was much more likely! | ||
