Title	Songspiel
Setter	Dysart
Series	The Listener
Number	4007
Date	08/11/2008
Grid	13×13 barred grid with 180° symmetry. There is a space to be completed under the grid captioned MISSING GROUP.
Preamble	Each down clue has a misprint of one letter in the definition. In clue order, an alternating sequence of misprinted and correct letters spells out the title of a musical piece that provides the theme of the puzzle. Seventeen answers must be modified to conform to the song's title (and to avoid clashes in most cases), four in one way and thirteen in another. A few ambiguities must be nominally resolved. Six specific groups of people are addressed in the piece, five of them being represented in the grid, either as complete entries or as parts of entries (in a normal orientation); solvers must write, in the box at the foot of the grid, the group that is not represented. Chambers Dictionary (2003) is the primary reference.
