The name the number goes by (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
song title
'the name' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'number goes by' is the wordplay.
'number' becomes 'song' (as in a musical number).
'goes by' becomes 'title' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'song'+'title'='SONG TITLE'
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
