We had never heard it... thankfully. Sorry I re-heard it just now.

Was this popular in England ? I can't imagine it was, anywhere.

It certainly wasn't popular in my house (and no I don't think it meant
much anywhere else either)

I do note tho that 45cat has the Decca single of this currently valued
at £30 (aprox $39)

Of course both of these guys were big comedy stars on TV here at this
time and later Dudley Moore went on to star in some movies that were big
hits on both sides of the puddle ("10","Arthur" etc)

PETER COOK & DUDLEY MOORE - 'The L.S. Bumble Bee' - 1967 >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ekp0mVVEe-4

Was this popular in England ? I can't imagine it was, anywhere.

In a letter from December of 1981, Dudley Moore offered a bit of
insight: �Peter Cook and I recorded that song about the time when
there was so much fuss about L.S.D. 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.

Apparently this track appears on some Beatles bootlegs;
but you would have to be very naive to think that this track
was by the fab 4; at 1:39 "Dudley M" is in the lyrics.
