So when was the animation done? And there have been lots of previous threads on this song - Joe has linked a few at the top now
- thanks Joe.

So what did the original author think was being moved?

Many old pianos had two brass candle holders usually designed to swing out of the way when not needed, attached to the front - by the 1960's it became "trendy" to remove them - if you look closely on many of them, either the holes (if the removal was performed in the same style as this song!) are still there, or you can see where they were.

Don't forget that bright electric lights were not know when pianos were popular, and even "lamp oil" or "kero lamps" or even "gas lamps" usually were placed too far away in the room to be of any use for reading sheet music.

Indeed, it has now become "trendy" to put the candle stick holders BACK on old pianos - even though some of them did not have them originally!
