Handy Man

I'm sure he never realized how appropriate this song title would be when it was recorded in 1959. Check out you tube video of jimmy jones singing Handy Man posted 6/14/2010.

Why was everyone they videoed in the audience chonking on gum?

 

[Andrew Mace]

Because that's what kids did back then! :wink:

From all I've read, Triumph was pretty good at product placement on TV back then, including car giveaways on a number of game shows.

Here's a great Petula Clark video from the period. Check out the cars. No Triumphs but a great selection of period Brit sportscars.

Have you guys seen the cameo appearance of the TR3 driven by Kevin Bacon near the beginning of the movie Diner?

Is that where he fakes the wreck in it? I seem to remember it being in a few scenes in the movie around the diner etc.
