Subject: RE: Origins: Right Said Fred-what are they moving? From: Bob Hitchcock Date: 07 Jan 04 - 03:42 PM Many upright pianos used to have two candle holders which were on hinges and could swing out so as to be on either side of the music holder. My assumption was that the song refered to these. As for the seat, I'm not sure. |

Subject: RE: Origins: Right Said Fred-what are they moving? From: GUEST Date: 07 Jan 04 - 03:35 PM Piano does not really account for removing the " things what holds the candles", does it? And how many pianos have a seat to be detatched? What about, as a friend of mine once suggested, a big ornate organ? |

Subject: RE: Origins: Right Said Fred-what are they moving? From: Joe Offer Date: 07 Jan 04 - 03:20 PM Hi, Interested - I always assumed they were moving either a thingamajig or a whosamabob or a whatchamacallit. It seems to be a universal description of how guys move stuff. The least-competent guy is usually the one who takes charge. The others drink tea - or, more likely, beer. I once had to move a piano with an old guy, and his theories would have got me killed if I hadn't finally put my foot down and and insisted we do it my way... Well, actually, I've done maintenance work most of my life, and I'm pretty good at moving things without getting hurt. -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: Origins: Right Said Fred-what are they moving? From: Bob Hitchcock Date: 07 Jan 04 - 03:17 PM I have always thought they were trying to move a Piano, I don't know why, but it goes back to my early childhood. |

Subject: RE: Origins: Right Said Fred-what are they moving? From: Geoff the Duck Date: 07 Jan 04 - 03:15 PM A piano - a BIG piano. When I was young, and the song was still played regularly, there used to be an animation which accompanied the song. It was too big to go through the door, hence the problems of removing bits etc... Quack! GtD. |
