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

'rambling on and on' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'spill the beans about relative in hospital' is the wordplay.
'spill the beans' becomes 'sing' (I've seen this in other clues).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'relative' becomes 'aunt' (aunt is a kind of relative).
'in hospital' becomes 'er' (I've seen this in other clues).
'aunt'+'er'='aunter'
'sing' going around 'aunter' is 'SAUNTERING'.

Can you help me to learn more?
