Grating but harmless stress relief

One semi-recent day, I was grocery shopping when Andy Gibb's "I Just Want To Be Your Everything" started playing in the store.  One worker, in a burst of nostalgia, began singing along--very off-key.

After putting things in context, this didn't bother me.  The pandemic by itself has made 2020 such a lousy year for the world.  If a grocery store worker who is putting her life on the line so people can buy necessities wants to sing out of tune, why not?  Anyone should be able to stand two or three minutes of off-key singing in a day.
