'it's no good interrupting an sos for music' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'it's no good interrupting an sos' is the wordplay.
'it's no' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation).
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'interrupting' indicates putting letters inside.
'n'+'g'='ng'
'ng' put within 'sos' is 'SONGS'.
