It can be hard to concentrate or read when some one else is either talking or singing within earshot so I can empathize with Earl..

If Opal would break out with ‘Little Deuce Coupe’, Earl would jump for joy.

More likely, she’s just happy…and yanking on Earl, which also makes her happy.

When you know the other person(s) in the room don’t like it – it’s just a childish act of passive aggression.
