Ok Lemmings look, I love life and I love my family, so I'd hate to have to blow my fucking brains out. So what's another strategy for tuning out this incessant lava chicken?

Alternatively, does anyone have a time machine and enough money to convince Jack Black to not do the Minecraft movie?

  1. Ignore it, if there’s no reaction the novelty will wear off
  2. sing along, but change the words to something even more stupid so that the kid doesn’t like the song any more (I don’t know the song and won’t look it up, but I’m sure you can figure it out)

Play him the meow mix song. It's the alpha predator of ear worms.

[–] jaupsinluggies@feddit.uk 1 points 1 hour ago

Replace it with this delightful little melody https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESViOhqRdlE

[–] freebee@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 hours ago

There's way worse songs this could be happening with...

Lava chicken is quite groovy actually, tasty. You're in luck.

Tom Cardy, one of the best musical comedians of our age. He has many songs with extremely catchy lines that are actually funny while also being tolerable to hear many times over. There is a definite need for a language warning if you are not good with swearing, but his Lord of the Rings one is amazing.

Perception Check is my favorite but wow so many f bombs.

[–] rowinxavier@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Naughty of nice is great too, and HYCYBH is amazing

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Idk about kids singing HYCYBH...

I could imagine them using it on a teacher in class.

Teacher: "... Where is my board eraser"
Child: "HYCYBH?"
Teacher: Calls parents.

[–] rowinxavier@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, they would definitely repeat it at inopportune times, but what is life if not opportunities for comedy?

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

As a parent I'd externally be ashamed and blame brainrot.
Internally I'd be absolutely dying at the scene.
On the drive home I'd take it as an opportunity to teach the child about target audience.

Its actually a good chance to teach about right place and time. Some people don't know you can't teach coworkers as "buddies" because then HR gets involved.

[–] rowinxavier@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Yeah, honestly having kids around and watching them learn things like target audience and how to not blindly repeat stuff they hear is great, making it more fun and chaotic is awesome

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 10 points 21 hours ago

Sing it back to them

[–] Xraygoggles@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago

Try switching to Parry Grip, some of it is OK and the catalogue is big enough they don't really get stuck.

And just to show solidarity the other day my kid just kept 'teenage mutant ninja turtles'ing for what felt like a half hour without a single 'heroes in a half shell' to round it off.

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Get back at them by singing Peaches from the Mario Bros movie. You know, Jack Black and all that.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Steady now, my generation got through the Macarena, you'll get through this. Nice deep breaths... in... out...

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And MmmBop (which tbh hits these days in a very sad sad way)

Not the answer you're looking for, but this reminded me of a short video I saw a long time ago where it was some kids being obnoxious ( as they're known for ) on a train and this man snaps and screams, in Chinese, "Shut up! I wanna die!" because of how tired he was.

Cannot find the clip when I search for it, but I think it's pretty funny. Nor do I remember where I saw it, but that specific little video thing has absolutely stuck with me.l ever since I saw it.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 44 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Make it inhumanely cringe. Start calling everything lava chicken as a replacement for "cool", make lame ass Minecraft dad jokes at every opportunity, yell chicken jockey out the window to summon your spawn in public.

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 day ago

That wouldn't be very lava chicken of you to do, to ruin a phrase like that.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Expose him to Baby Shark.

Then the Badgers song.

Lather, rinse, repeat until he latches onto a song you can tolerate.

This thread is just switching me around from one earworm to another

[–] SonOfAntenora@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have had this exact issue with that frozen music. You are essentially done. Years later i still recall that music.

Start singing baby shark song, or what did the fox say. Expand his ~~repetuar~~ repertoire.

Edit: Dino spelling

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Repetaur sounds like a great fictional dinosaur to add to my son's repertoire.

Wait. Before you blow your brain out have you considered surgical removal of your ears?

[–] remon@ani.social 46 points 1 day ago

Go out for a pack of cigarettes, start over.

[–] fritobugger2017@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

Introduce them to the Chicken Banana song.

[–] LanguageIsCool@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)
[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

Just get an even worse song stuck in your head, like this one: https://youtu.be/lrPncVUR_3Y
