Heir's beginning song and dance that might make Queen cough up (8)
I believe the answer is:
hairball
'might make queen cough up' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'heir's beginning song and dance' is the wordplay.
'beginning' suggests taking the first letters.
'song' becomes 'air' (air can mean a piece of music).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'dance' becomes 'ball' (ball is a kind of dance).
The initial letter of 'heirs' is 'h'.
'h'+'air'+'ball'='HAIRBALL'
'that' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hairball that I've seen before include "Uncomfortable thing in a cat's stomach?" , "in the middle of Cats?" , "Bundle of fur coughed up by cat" , "Furry mass forming in cat's stomach" , "Something forming in a cat's stomach" .)
