Cheap excuse to drop tab amidst confusion (3,1,4)
I believe the answer is:
for a song
'cheap' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'excuse to drop tab amidst confusion' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'to' could be 'for' and 'for' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for for a song that I've seen is " Very reasonably".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
