Book fighter, third of eight, odd number? (7,4)
I believe the answer is:
novelty song
'odd number?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'book fighter third of eight' is the wordplay.
'book' becomes 'novel' (novel is a kind of book).
'fighter' becomes 'tyson' (US boxer Mike Tyson).
'third of eight' becomes 'g' (vrd letter of 'eight').
'novel'+'tyson'+'g'='NOVELTY SONG'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
