Does Bam Bam use a well-known chord progression?

Yes! In A♭ major: The doo-wop progression (V → I → vi → IV) shows up in the verse at 0:05 and 0:15. That old-school slow-dance sound, with a gentle detour through minor before heading home. The Royal Road progression (vi → IV → V → iii) shows up in the chorus at 0:59 and 2:10. A bittersweet J-pop favorite that keeps moving without landing on the major home chord. The three-chord I–IV–V progression (IV → V → I) shows up in the pre-chorus at 1:37 and the bridge at 2:25. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back.
