CLUELESS 578

Welcome to Clueless, our informal weekly clue setting competition. The idea is to compose a cryptic clue to a given word or phrase.

The winner of the previous week's competition both sets the word to be clued and judges the entries for the current week. The judge's decision is final and reasons may or may not be given at the judge's discretion. It is customary for the judge to donate a virtual prize to the winner.

Multiple entries may be submitted and new competitors are particularly welcome. Feel free to give an explanation if you think it might help.

Clues should be submitted by 9pm (UK time) on Wednesday 11th May.

This week's challenge is:
SWINGER (7)

Have fun!

Richard Digance parodies Elkie Brooks - Earl's one on the outside, perhaps? (7)


Explanation if required, but it might be more fun to work it out!

Playboy, when caught, quits screwing around (7)

Gershwin not the first hip jazz fan (7)

Vocalist takes up with Glenn Miller? (7)

Crooner downs a whiskey while attending an orgy (7)

Libertine first to swap wife in Germany (7)

Gershwin lost husband over being a philanderer (7)

(Forgot to apostrophise “husband” as rumours of his homosexuality were never proven)

Single bird likes to party (7)
