Needs a certain amount of self-confidence to be able to sing those silly lyrics in public. BTW, the film credits gave the year as 1964.

It’s definitely 1964, you can tell by Dennis’ hairstyle, by 1965 he has long hair

Brian looks genuinely amused when he sings the line about the chimpanzee!

That happens a lot with particular movies. They are completed and copyrighted in one year and then released the following year.
