The talk box, which has been featured on many hit singles old and new, was first believed to be used by swing band pedal steel player Alvino Rey in the 1940's. In the 1960's, Bill West, a country music steel guitar player (husband of Country singer Dottie West), and Pete Drake. Drake, a Nashville mainstay on the pedal steel guitar and friend of Bill West, used it on his 1964 album Forever, in what came to be called his "talking steel guitar." The following year Drake released three albums with the box, Pete Drake & His Talking Guitar, Talking Steel and Singing Strings, and Talking Steel Guitar.

The only thing in that video are microphones on stands. In one shot it looks like it's in the guy's mouth, so I'm going to assume that's what you're talking about. The only other thing I can think of (which is not in this song) is a harmonica held up to a singer's mouth with a brace so they can play it while playing guitar.

A Framptone, or otherwise called a talk box? It's a funny clear tube attached to the microphone, Peter Frampton was the first to use it.
