    I did draw the line one day when he chose to wail out "Muskrat Love" at full volume, though. Quite possibly the worst song ever written, lyric-wise. It was impressive that he actually knew every single horrific word to that old chestnut, but I did go over to him, pull out one of his earbuds and say, "Muskrat Love? Are you actually kidding me??"

    Hahahahahahahahahaha.

    This was a staple of my dad's when I was little. I'd forgotten about it. Not that I needed to remember it... But thanks for the laugh.

    Your husband is the Swedish Chef?

    I can neither conform nor deny that bouts melodic gibberish, capped off with "Bork, bork, bork!" have been detected coming from my kitchen...

    Agree, I can't believe this is that big of a deal. My husband does this sometimes, it's just something he does. I certainly don't complain while he's helping me, that's for sure. Geez, let the man be.

    The stereotypical cook/chef always hums/sings while they cook. Like practically every cook, nanny, granny and Aunt Bea in every movie or TV show will hum-hum-hum-hum-hummmmm while they cheerily go about the business of cooking/baking.

    What concerns me is that you actually have a husband who cooks and instead of just appreciating that simple blessing, you want to sap the joy out of it for him just because you don't think his humor is funny.
    Best answer to figure out why it could be funny.
    Also thanks to the others, supportive. Hearing how their husbands are just as bad.
    I was having a bad mood day yesterday. Regretted asking this.

    My husband likes to sing at the top of his lungs when he's watching music videos on his laptop. He's wearing earbuds so you can't actually hear the song, just his enthusiastic rendition of it.

    Problem is he can't carry a tune in a bucket, poor man. But what he lacks in talent, he makes up for in sheer gusto. My daughter and I usually roll our eyes at each other, but we know it makes him happy, so we keep our thoughts to ourselves.

    For you youngins who have no idea what I'm talking about, listen and weep:

    I hum Jingle Bells in the shower every morning all year long. If my husband was anything like the OP he probably would've kicked me out of the house by now.

    Luckily he says it's cute and makes him happy.

    I sway back and forth. When mixing things, brushing my teeth, or anything else that involves standing still for a period of time. My sister gives me total hell for it and I don't know why.

    Me too. Sometimes my husband will grab me and make me stop, just as a joke. I always feel really disoriented when he does!

    Yo, I sing and dance pretty often in the kitchen, and all over the house. As does my girlfriend. As did my parents. My mom took it really far, as she's a music teacher: theme songs for all the pets, and different songs for different activities (Letting the cat in! Taking the dog out! Locking the door! Vacuuming the carpet!).

    Wouldn't have it any other way.

    We have theme songs for our pets too.
