You don’t need to know music theory to enjoy this. Just know that the man who sang about jam now writes for a bear. And the man who wrote a line-dancing hit now writes for a hat-lover.
It’s deliciously absurd. It’s perfectly British. It’s exactly what Paddington would want: something messy, sweet, and full of heart.
So next time you hear the tune, smile. Remember Tommy Blaize, Elliot Kennedy, and that one guy who wrote a play about a dog. They’re the dream team behind the bear.
And if you don’t cry during the marmalade song? You’re not human. Or you’re a bear. Both are fine.
