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

'it was said before announcement' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'parlour smelled awful' is the wordplay.
'awful' indicates anagramming the letters.
'parlour'+'smelled'='parloursmelled'
'parloursmelled' is an anagram of 'DRUMROLL PLEASE'.
