Idiom

for a song

2026-04-01

Meaning:
If you buy or sell something for a song, you buy or sell it at a very cheap price.

For example:

James had a really valuable record by an old American band called The Cramps, but he sold it for a song at a garage sale. He didn't know how much it was worth.

    I had never heard about that expression, I was reading the text authomatically and I didn't understand haha but now it's clear. I think it might come across as a bit insulting to a singer
