'it's no good interrupting an sos for singing' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this 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' is an insertion indicator.
'n'+'g'='ng'
'ng' going inside 'sos' is 'SONGS'.
