Hubby tries to bring up a sensitive subject that is important to him. You're prickly and it's awkward, so he tries to fumble around with some humor. His timing and choice of topics probably couldn't be worse.

You shut that conversation down, effectively communicating that his feelings are not important to you.

Been there, done that! It only took me 3 sober days (after waking up on the floor next to the broken picture frames I had knocked off on my way down) to realize what a horrible person my wife was. Why was I stuck with such a LOSER!?!

When your mood is better, perhaps you could let him know that:
1) his feeling are important to you
2) people in early sobriety are big bags of stress and anxiety, so you want to put off important discussions like this for 90 days
3) You hate that song

Best of Luck on Your Journey!
