See song recur about sponge (9)

I believe the answer is:

scrounger

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

'sponge' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'see song recur' is the wordplay.
'song recur' anagrams to 'SCROUNGER'.
Though, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'about' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scrounger that I've seen before include "Sponge" , "bum" , "Freeloader" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
