Oh the '70s. Was the entire decade just one big episode of HR Puffinstuff? Maybe so.

Herewith is a song that Yamaha debuted on 45 when they expanded their range from just two-stroke machines to two and four stroke machines in 1972.

"Yamaha: It's a Better Machine ..."

If you thought you'd never hear the phrase "Two cycle Yamaha, Four cycle Yamaha. Higher than high, farther than ... far away..." sung to a groovy '70s beat ...

You will now.

The vocalist on the tune sounds like the incomparable Paul Williams.
