Crossword Genius

Dance music on game shows (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

conga

'dance' is the definition.
(conga is a type of dance)

'music on game shows' is the wordplay.
'shows' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'CONGA' is hidden in the letters of 'music on game'.

(Other definitions for conga that I've seen before include "What gets line moving rhythmically" , "Line-dancing" , "Latin American dance performed in single file" , "Party dance" , "Dance of 3 steps and a kick by people in single file" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Sun.
