The original tune is "The Black Bear", Craig's favourite tune, and Craig and Samantha live in Portobello, Edinburgh. Paddington [a character in children's soties by Michael Bond] was also a bear, and frequently visited Mr Gruber in Portobello Road. Paddington was fond of marmalade, paticularly in sandwiches. Two common brands of marmalade are Golden Shred and Silver Shred - which Samantha often sees in her profession as a jeweller. Enjoy! If you try this, please let me know how you get on.
