Live it up out with noted parent (5,3,4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paint the town red

'live it up' is the definition.
(both can mean to celebrate or party)

'out with noted parent' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram.
'with'+'noted'+'parent'='withnotedparent'
'withnotedparent' with letters rearranged gives 'PAINT THE TOWN RED'.

(Other definitions for paint the town red that I've seen before include "Go on a pub crawl" , "get rid of the blues?" , "enjoy celebration" , "Celebrate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
