In th 60's there was a song titled I think, "Elevator Driver". What is his name "ladder king"?

That guy doesn't look like he is actually doing that as it is swaying like it is being hoisted by cables/forks/something else rather than by the visual trickster. Setup=Candid Camera? Why put a bike like that on top of a bus without a rack? Fuel dearer than fare? How did he get it on his head? Too many unseens for me.,
