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?
Steady now, my generation got through the Macarena, you’ll get through this. Nice deep breaths… in… out…
And MmmBop (which tbh hits these days in a very sad sad way)
In a mmmbop it really is gone
Have them watch too many cooks.
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.
There’s always John Daker:
It takes a lot to make a stew
A pinch of salt and laughter too
Okay boomer
Whenever they would start singing it, I would sing
Cha-cha-cha-lava, La-la-la-chicken!
back at them until they got annoyed enough that they stopped.
🤷♂️
that may be even harder than tuning it out
About 3 days. 🤷♂️ Edit: for clarity, I haven’t heard this song in a long while now, those 3-ish days were right after they saw it.
Every dad can decide their own ROI for this. 🤣
THAT’S NOT HOW IT GOES, DAD!
… Oh? It doesn’t?
I do live for those moments…
Mine would crack up and switch to that
- results not guaranteed. 🤣
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!
Peaches peaches peaches peaches
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 have had this exact issue with that frozen music. You are essentially done. Years later i still recall that music.
just let it go
Brutal…
Wait. Before you blow your brain out have you considered surgical removal of your ears?
Start singing it with them. Do it sincerely. You’ll either kill their joy or you two will have a moment.
Or find a song they hate to constantly sing. Maybe some old person music like Hoobastank.
So many parents don’t realize kids can listen to grownup music. My daughter sings so much Greenday, and while it’s a little awkward hearing her start singing “I was sober now I’m drunk again”
Just get an even worse song stuck in your head, like this one: https://youtu.be/lrPncVUR_3Y
Introduce them to the Chicken Banana song.
See if they like “Yellow Submarine” and switch over to the Beatles?
Really any musical, especially one that hits that “I maybe shouldn’t be watching this” is a good option. Maybe Dr Horrible’s Sing Along Blog? Probably too young for Sweeney Todd
since the kid presumably likes games and/or memes i would suggest starting with this beatle classic https://youtu.be/dJ1KaspORsE?si=n2Jg5i8r8YmPQu6u
Wow, you actually managed to find the other song I absolutely hate when he plays!
Our neighbor got him started with undertale and let me tell you… He is not good at it, and man does he get angry when he dies.
But his undertale tantrums are another story, for now let me just express how tired I am of hearing the undertake soundtrack which he plays on loop, especially megalovania!
You know I played that game once, I thought it did some clever things, but never again… That boy has ruined it for me.
Oh man, this was my history teacher’s favorite song back in middle school. Used to play it in class every. day. I thought I got away from that song… And I did for 17 years…
Now it’s stuck in my head again!
I was referring to the movie which does have the song. Maybe it works.
La la la lava!
Ch ch ch chicken!
Steve’s Lava Chicken, yeah it’s tasty as hell
Ooh mamacita, now you’re ringin’ the bell!
Crispy and juicy, now you’re havin’ a snack
Play him the meow mix song. It’s the alpha predator of ear worms.
I mean it’s not Baby Shark?
It can still be worse,
I once overheard a group of kindergarteners continually yelling “Skibidi toilet” at repeat.
He has a set of shark PJs, and whenever he wears them I sing [his name] shark do do do do do…
And he immediately responds “STOOOOP DAD! PLEASE! I ALREADY TOLD YOU BEFORE!”
And I’ll never stop doing it
We have a no baby shark rule, my daughter hasn’t latched onto it yet. Whenever it comes on Spotify skip it but sometimes I start singing along before I realize what I’m doing.
This thread is just switching me around from one earworm to another
