Works in smells and commercial sounds (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
pop songs
'commercial sounds' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'works in smells' is the wordplay.
'works' becomes 'ops' (op is short for opus, a work).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'smells' becomes 'pongs' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ops' going within 'pongs' is 'POP SONGS'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
