I need to sing more often.5

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

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.6 -

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.

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.
