My child won't stop singing the "Lava Chicken" song from the Minecraft movie. How do I go on living?
-
I mean it's not Baby Shark?
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
-
Interrupt by yelling "CHICKEN JOCKEY" every few bars.
I'm not sure that's really gonna make the situation better though...
-
Depending on your child's age and your bond you could also simply get rid of the child.
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.
-
It is not a good movie, but my kids enjoyed it, so I got some vicarious pleasure out of the experience. I wouldn't watch it on my own.
I don't know why people dislike it so much other than the girl and her brother doing a terrible job at being relatable or authentic. I thought Jack Black and Jason Momoa did a great job and I'm not even a fan of Momoa.

Tell him or her that if it's underground, it's called magma rather than lava.
Haha, that's a pretty good plan for whenever he does something annoying. Just "well actually" at him until he stops.
-
put some headphones on, blast some music to drown it out
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"
-
that's what they
want you to doRight!
Nice try son.

Unleash the Crazy Frog. Or go nuclear with playing non-stop every single kitsch 70’s romantic songs on repeat—while singing them passionately.
It give’em an hour.
Unleash...the Sandstorm!

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?
Mine has largely gotten over the lava chicken phase, and has moved on to the next incredibly annoying barely sentient compulsion.
Last I checked it was the intro to Ducktales. Have you shown them that? It's so ruinously catchy it may never leave your mind.

Start singing it with them. Do it sincerely. You'll either kill their joy or you two will have a moment.

Go out for a pack of cigarettes, start over.

Yeah but DuckTales is quality. So that's fine.

Yep. He immediately dialed into it because Gravity Falls is an old favourite, and these shows share a good bit of DNA. I just like to hear Danny Pudi.

Yeah same. It was our first theater experience together and we had a blast. The movie is aggressively mediocre although it does have a few moments.

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

Agreed. It was a fine example of a kid movie with kid actors. If you go in with low expectations, you probably won't be disappointed.

Brutal...

Or find a song they hate to constantly sing. Maybe some old person music like Hoobastank.
