Morphology

songworthy = song + worthy (transparent) = song + worthy

Meaning is directly built from 'song' + 'worthy' = 'deserving of being a song' using a productive pattern (cf. newsworthy, praiseworthy).

Etymology

The word songworthy is made of song and worthy, so it literally means 'deserving of a song'. So, if a view or a story is songworthy, it is so good or moving that someone might write a song about it.
