The only band I can think of with the initials SS is the Scissors Sisters. Even if that's right, I don't know any of their songs.

We have the correct band although to be fully pedantic there is no "the", it's just Scissor Sisters (like Lighthouse Family) - so just need to guess the right tune now!

I can honestly say that I've never heard of them or heard that song, but it was fun! I especially liked the first comment on YouTube:

This is my favourite BeeGees song that isn't by the BeeGees.

Nope - not Mr Daltry either. OK - first clues to reduce the options: Male UK solo artist - and extremely well known (and still alive)
