Did such singing get the cats jiving? (4)
I believe the answer is:
scat
'did such singing get' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'cats jiving?' is the wordplay.
'jiving?' is an anagram indicator (letters dance or jive around).
'cats' anagrammed gives 'SCAT'.
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scat that I've seen before include "Buzz off" , "Jazz singing - animal droppings - silvery fish" , "Leave; jazz singing" , "Bolt" , ""Beat It"" .)
