Misrepresented Queen songs (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lieder

'songs' is the definition.
(lied is a kind of song)

'misrepresented queen' is the wordplay.
'misrepresented' becomes 'lied' (to lie about something is to misrepresent it).
'queen' becomes 'ER' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina).
'lied'+'er'='LIEDER'

(Other definitions for lieder that I've seen before include "German art songs" , "numbers in German" , "German songs for piano and solo voice" , "German songs of the Romantic period" , "German Romantic songs for solo voice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
