Zeppelin songs right on (7)

I believe the answer is:

airship

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

'zeppelin' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'songs right on' is the wordplay.
'songs' becomes 'airs' (I've seen this before).
'right on' becomes 'hip' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'airs'+'hip'='AIRSHIP'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for airship that I've seen before include "Dirigible" , "High-flyer" , "Lighter-than-air craft" , "Means of transport" , "Gas-filled craft" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
