The L.S. Bumble Bee<\/em>, a single by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, Decca F 12551, February 1967. Mistakenly included on some Beatles bootlegs in the Seventies, about which Dudley Moore commented:<\/p>\n

Regarding The L.S. Bumble Bee<\/em>, Peter Cook and I recorded that song about the time when there was so much fuss about L.S.D., and when everybody thought that Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds<\/em> was a reference to drugs. The exciting alternative offered to the world was L.S.B.!, and I wrote the music to, in some ways, satirize the Beach Boys rather than the Beatles. But I’m grateful if some small part of the world thinks that it may have been them, rather than us!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Listen to it here<\/a>. And while we’re at it, \u201cYou fill me with inertia!<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n
