Could do with some help to finish this one off. I have R?I? for 15 down. Any help with the answer and why.
I have the answer to 18 across but could someone explain.
Finally, what's the significance of the title?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Clues would be nice

maurice

ruly: truly with head removed!
18a If you remind me of the solution I can probably parse it (only have clues here)
As far as I know, until now no-one's come up with a plausible suggestion to explain the title (on either forum)!

Question Author

15down. Orderly is really to be executed (4) R_I_
18across. Request provided for a time obliquely in Acotland (7)

maurice

I already gave you (& explained) 15d!
And it's your ANSWER I need for 18a in order to parse it (sent mine off on Thursday!)

kettledrum

18a ask lent. Scottish word meaning aslant / oblique

kettledrum

I'm not entirely happy with it, but I wondered if the title, Wein, Weib & Gesang, might refer to Strauss waltzes.
One very well-known waltz is called Morgenblaetter (Morning papers)
Another - which I don't know - is called Nachtfalter (Moths)
But I can't see anything that might refer to Penguins
