If "Blues" and "Goldfinger" are allowed then SS would be "Stingray shuffle".

RRFABL Red roses for a blue lady

I've seen various titles for the Elton John song, i.e.

Blue eyes
Baby's got blue eyes
Blue eyes, baby's got blue eyes

I couldn't say which was correct though.

I suspect you got it right. I think that the error was probably made before the initial quiz even came to Mudcat. Certainly, nobody has come up with anything better.
