My child won't stop singing the "Lava Chicken" song from the Minecraft movie. How do I go on living?
-
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?
-
Genuine question - why is that deemed a good answer? I'd expect an actual solution for a child to be more apropriate than humiliating an adult later in life. Like the suggestions telling to start singing it yourself, wrongly, seem much more effective and appropriate to me.
Full disclosure tho: Not a parent and no plans to ever be one
I may also have played dirty with the Rocky Horror reference

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.

I don't wanna sound old here, but I finally watched that thing a couple days ago and boy did I feel my age there. Clearly I've lived long enough that a whole movie failed to connect with me on any level. I mean it has Jack Black in it and I adore him. I guess what I'm saying is I have no idea how to fix your kid because they're a different people now.
However , the classic old group defense against young slang is taking it up and enthusiastically using it wrong. So enjoy your hot poultry song.

I got bad news for you, that's basically all we're doing right now.

Good year for animation, '87.

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.

Naughty of nice is great too, and HYCYBH is amazing

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. -

Record it from all angles at all opportunities and play the video at their wedding. Until then, sustain yourself on the antici

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

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

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.
-
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"

I played Minecraft as a teenager when it was in Beta (you can do the math for my rough age based on that) and I took my kids to see it as a fun family outing. It was a fun kids movie, and it was wild hearing the Minecraft soundtrack in the theatre lobby, but honestly while I'm glad I saw it in the theatre, it wasn't anything I'd go out of my way to see again. My kids however have watched it multiple times since it's hit streaming

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
