D is Dean Martin again, "How do you like your eggs in the morning". It's currently in use for a TV ad over here, so I feel like I know it well at this stage!

Si

Of course A is Dino "That's Amore". I thought someone would have answered that by now.

Right both times Simon!

More songs to guess:

1. "And shadows wash the room.

And we sit and drink our coffee

Couched in our indifference,

Like shells upon the shore

You can hear the ocean roar"

Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes."
