Stop the music (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

refrain

I believe this is a double definition.

'stop' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'music' is the second definition.
(refrain is a kind of music)

'the' is the link.

(Other definitions for refrain that I've seen before include "Don't do that - it's a song" , "Do without" , "Chorus; desist" , "Chorus; keep away (from)" , "Stop activity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail, The Sun and The Times.
