Special Instructions: A 1997 hit single came to mind...its title (clued without definition) and in jumbled form the inspiration behind it both feature in the grid; and there is a broader hint to the band. [With thanks to JeremysIron and Henri for pointing out corrections to the SI]

Lovely little puzzle - I found 4a particularly satisfying! Spoilers below

Fab! Like JeremysIron I got this pretty quickly as it's a favourite of mine 😁 and it certainly raised a smile here. Just to add, in a non-spoilery way, that JI's final comment is correct and your preamble could do with a slight edit!

Absolutely loved it! Extremely clever clues, particularly 1d and 2d; brilliant! Great song too - one of my faves

Thanks Pyewacket. I did solve the song early on --- it got heavy airplay in the US back when songs on the radio were a thing. Liked 3a & 4a in particular.

I have not thought of the song in decades! Thanks for the bit of fun, PW!
