Hangman Game Feedback

Title:	when something is bought for a small amount of money we say it was . . .
Answer:	purchased for a song

Hints:	1. another word for 'bought' is . . . 2. its not for money 3. everyone could come up with this price

Equivalents:	1. purchased dirt cheap

Explanation:	They say words are cheap, so I guess songs are too, but a lot of people get paid a lot of money for singing. Still since even the birds sing for free and it costs them nothing to do so, I guess it costs you nothing to sing for your supper as well.
