Songs by sexy miss (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

air shot

'miss' is the definition.
(an instance of missing a ball in sport)

'songs by sexy' is the wordplay.
'songs' becomes 'airs' (I've seen this before).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'sexy' becomes 'hot' (similar in meaning).
'airs'+'hot'='AIR SHOT'

(Another definition for air shot that I've seen is " Golf stroke that misses the ball".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
