2 Mammals of which order have no stomach? I'll guess the monotremes (platypus and echidna) as I think they are deemed to be the most primitive mammals.

7 Bondye is the creator god in which Caribbean religion? Voodoo?

5 What device is often marked PRNDL?
A vehicle's automatic gearbox (Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, Low) - American HF members will no doubt scoff at such an easy question.

6 Which Swiss psychiatrist developed the inkblot test?
It is called the Rorschach Test so I imagine that is who invented it.

4. Smash hits. Which was a magazine with lyrics to pop songs. At the time it wasn't like now with records supplied with lyric sheets or just Google it. There was no way to find out words to songs and they weren't at all clear to hear at times.

8. MYF and I did the tour of Blandy's Wine Lodge last year on our holiday in Funchal so I can say with certainty this is Madeira.

I agree with Furby that some lyrics are very difficult to decipher. Peter Kay did a very funny sketch about it - if you haven't seen it it is welll worrth a watch
