Sent up with acceptable songs (5)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
tunes
'songs' is the definition.
(I know this)
'sent up with acceptable' is the wordplay.
'up with' indicates anagramming the letters (letters get chucked up).
'acceptable' becomes 'u' (as in U and non-U speech).
'sent' with its letters mixed up with 'u' can make 'TUNES'.
(Another definition for tunes that I've seen is " Airs, melodies".)
I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
