ex - There's no need to make such a song and dance about one little scratch on the car.] 2. a very complicated explanation for something you have done. [
ex - She gave us a whole song and dance about why she hadn't
sent the
order on
time.]
something sure and easy. If you learn those little

points into practice, your
security checking will become a song.
