Crossword Genius

Issue found in super songs occasionally... (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sprog

'issue' is the definition.
(sprogs can mean one's offspring or issue)

'super songs occasionally' is the wordplay.
'occasionally' means one should take alternating letters (letters taken at regular intervals or occasions).
'super'+'songs'='supersongs'
The alternating letters of 'supersongs' are 'SPROG'.

'found in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sprog that I've seen before include "Baby (slang)" , "little one" , "Child; recruit (mil. slang)" , "Child, colloquially" , "Infant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
