Cryptic 7x7 #0 by tuber

My first 7x7, and it nearly has a seasonal theme... I like the "quintessential flop" part of 6A6AGroove coming back? Quintessential flop (6)[------], and 1D1DOne beaten by underwhelming force? (7)[-------]'s quite fun, but 4A4AWolf making sound like 6? (6)[------] and 3D3DGrew weary once more and ceased to work (7)[-------] feel a little underdone, and, well, as for 5A5AIndiscriminately attracted heads of state causing untold inconvenience - tough cookie! (7)[-------], the least said the better. I can only apologise.
