I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'musical composition that may go to one's head?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'musical composition' is the wordplay.
'musical' becomes 'hair' (I've seen this before).
'composition' becomes 'piece' ('piece' can be a synonym of 'composition').
'hair'+'piece'='HAIRPIECE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hairpiece that I've seen before include "rug" , "False addition to existing growth on the head" , "Switch, for instance" , "Using switch" , "A wig or switch to supplement scalp covering" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
