4. Who's going to drive you home ?

[mallyh]

1 ... I keep thinking (the answer my friend)is blowing in the wind

[fiction-factory]

Is the clue definitely right for 4 please? (Two company or To Compny?)

The Cars song was just called Drive, unfortunately, and didn't make number one here in the UK- although if US Billboard is included it did reach the number one spot there.

[fiction-factory]

I don't think Summer Breeze was even a hit for Seals & Croft in the UK- although a cover by the Isley Brothers was a top 20 hit (not a number one though). The Dylan one could well be right

[fiction-factory]

On q2 is it Adventurers plural or Adventurer's not yet dead

if the latter, then maybe Billy Don't be Hero? Not really good enough I know. Will have a think

[Canary42]

///The Cars song was just called Drive, unfortunately, and didn't make number one here in the UK///

I had my doubts, thanks for clarification.

Could 4 be "You'll never walk alone" ?

[fiction-factory]

You;ll Never Walk Alone! for 4

[fiction-factory]

Snap!
(Oh they were "Rhythm is a Dancer"..)

[Canary42]

Could 4 be "You'll never walk alone" ? The Crowd, 1985

[fiction-factory]

Yes, I think Gerry & Pacemakers also got to number one. anyway your answer is defintely right, Canary.
