Song about chaps in the country (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

armenia

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

'song about chaps' is the wordplay.
'song' becomes 'aria' (aria is a kind of song).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'chaps' becomes 'men' (I've seen this before).
'aria' placed around 'men' is 'ARMENIA'.

'in the' is the link.

(Other definitions for armenia that I've seen before include "Country in the Caucasus, capital Yerevan" , "Landlocked country, an Asian soviet before 1991, capital Yerevan" , "Mountainous republic bordering Turkey" , "Republic east of Black Sea bordering Turkey, capital Yerevan" , "Former Russian republic, its capital Yerevan" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
