I thought it was Bond's 'Lease on Love' single, also from '65. There's a
snippet of it on the BBC radio 'Tron programme from a few years back. There
are rumours of 'Tron use on an album called 'Sounds International' by the
Dalley Dozen (!) from the same year, though it's possible that this one's a
wind-up.
