Legendary lovers of pipe music (4)
I believe the answer is:
rats
'legendary lovers' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'pipe music' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'music' could be 'a' and 'a' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'rts' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rats that I've seen before include "Annoyed expression" , "Snoopy's imprecation - vermin" , "deserters" , "Tells" , "Treacherous rodents" .)
