Nothing among the new rich can be got for a song (5)

I believe the answer is:

choir

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'be got for a song' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'nothing among the new rich' is the wordplay.
'nothing' becomes 'O' (looks like zero - 0).
'among' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are placed among others).
'the new' is an anagram indicator.
'rich' anagrammed gives 'chir'.
'o' put inside 'chir' is 'CHOIR'.

'can' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for choir that I've seen before include "Body of singers" , "Vocalists in group" , "Religious chorus, perhaps" , "Religious singers" , "Carol singers?" .)
