I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'continual shuffling of positions sadly classic hr aim around university' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'sadly classic hr aim around university' is the wordplay.
'sadly' indicates an anagram.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'university' becomes 'U' (abbreviation as in UMass).
'classic'+'hr'+'aim'='classichraim'
'classichraim' with letters rearranged gives 'msicalchairs'.
'msicalchairs' placed around 'u' is 'MUSICAL CHAIRS'.

Can you help me to learn more?
