One unparsed
25a Hum discordant note, one interrupting Cliff Richard's opening song. (11,4)

With the crossers it can't be anything other than SCARBOROUGH FAIR. It's a song, but I can't make head or tail of the rest. Any suggestions, please?

Thanks simond9x
Thanks, I'm impressed - very complicated.
21 is a triple - "double", "first from Susie Dent", "(first from) Sharon Stone".

Also, for 16A, is the answer really a synonym of the definition?

"Look" as a noun rather than a verb, I think.
