That would be the above mentioned Sigur Ros.

From the official site:

"Yeah, it's something we overheard in a cafe... "Give me more SUGAR ROSlyn" and it kind of just stuck."

Ah wow, I didn't know that one.
I was actually refering to Mick Hucknall, and 'Simply Red'. He was actually shopping with a friend and over heard a woman tell her friend 'You look better in Red, definitely'. Prior to this, it was infact going to be Simply Blue.

I think he went with the better choice.

For anyone who doesn't know, Sigur Rós is Icelandic for victory rose. It's the name of Jonsi's sister.

I have never heard of this group and do not know how to pronounce the name, but Xiu is Vietnamese/Chinese for pork. It is pronounced something like "s'yiw". The vowel sound is more like in "ill" rather than "oo".

That could be how it is pronounced.
