Really Relay Cryptic Puzzles

[novice]

My last unsolved puzzle from the other thread:

Covert fight club. (9)

Any hints?

[zakalwe]

Straight definition:

covert

[novice]

That didn't help.

Currrent thinking:

Club = med

Am I on to something?

[zakalwe]

Not really. Two hints:

1. Regarding the club, think "golf club".
2. The word we're looking for is a noun.

[novice]

Is the answer

brushwood

[novice]

Is the answer

brushwood

I think it must be. Next:

Candy, if new. (4,9)

[zakalwe]

That was indeed correct. Explanation:

covert=thicket=brushwood, fight=brush, (golf) club=wood

Your current clue is interesting for it's brevity.

If anyone's looking for more puzzles, I found that the Seven Sandwich Surprise from the puzzle hunt was doable.

Candy, if new. (4,9)

Neat. The answer is:

Mint condition. (candy=mint, if=condition, new=mint condition)

I also solved the SSS puzzle, it was pretty cool.

Alright, here's something slightly different; a cryptic music quiz.

Name the following song titles. I have taken the liberty of rephrasing the titles sligthly. I also include the artists in spoiler tags, as additional hints.

1. Lucky bastard, by

Creedence Clearwater Survival

2. Fluttering, by

Bob Dylan

3. Dust in the Corona, by

Donna Summer

4. Oops; I shouldn't have drained the bathwater, by

The Drifters

5. The quiet passage, by

Simon And Garfunkel

6. Treasures an old horse, by

B-52s

7. Cooler bluff, by

Elvis Presley

Should you get totally stuck, it might help to know that all of the songs were chosen from the Rolling Stone Magazine's Top 500 Songs of All Time.
