Mythical rock singer (5)

I believe the answer is:

siren

(Other definitions for siren that I've seen before include "Loud warning device" , "Loud warning signal" , "Loud whistle or sailors' enchantress" , "Alarm; temptress" , "Temptress - makes a loud noise!" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
