Wow, I have literally never heard that version of the story.

Ok, I've officially employed this method, mixing it with some other suggestions in the thread.
Cha-cha-cha-lava,
La-la-la-chicken!
Oooh chicken jockey
It's a chicken jockey!
Woooon-derboy!
I did get a satisfying "no dad, that's not how it goes", but then it resulted in him singing it a few more times... I think I'll just keep it up until it's clear to him he's being trolled, then we'll see what happens.
I don't wanna sound old here...
I got bad news for you, that's basically all we're doing right now.
Oh shit... I don't think he's ready for that level of weird...
Hah, now I just want to know what he'd think of it.
Where would we be without black olives on pizza
We'd have pizza people actually wanted to eat!
Don't get me wrong, if you want to keep more pizza for yourself, then olives are a great deterrent and that's a legit strategy.
If you want to do a real case study, get only two pizzas and put olives on one, pineapple on the other, and just watch.
Brutal...
Right!
Nice try son.
Honestly, this is probably the answer.
"SORRY KID, I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER MY MUSIC. WHAT? IT'S CALLED RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, YEAH YOU'D LOVE IT. WHAT? NO, NOT TILL YOU'RE OLDER"
Haha, that's a pretty good plan for whenever he does something annoying. Just "well actually" at him until he stops.
Oh man... That's the dream. I think I've missed my window for that though, at this point the wife is pretty committed to keeping him.
I'm not sure that's really gonna make the situation better though...
First off, to be clear, I don't agree with this statement, I think it's the wrong stance.
But after that, I think this is a really an interesting point. [In general I understand a policy of not inciting violence] but if for instance, (purely hypothetically) the country were to fall into civil war (a crazy suggestion I know), wouldn't this policy instantly seem inappropriate?
I mean, encouraging people to join the war effort would be a matter of course, to quash that sentiment and silence those voices seems unethical.
As we slip closer to that possible outcome, surely the time for seriously talking about violence would come before the first shot is fired, right? So where do you draw that line? At what point is a statement which incites violence "violating site rules" and at what point is it "legitimate discussion of impending hostilities".
And I for one, am very interested in how mods feel about this question.
