My child won't stop singing the "Lava Chicken" song from the Minecraft movie. How do I go on living?

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

- Ignore it, if there’s no reaction the novelty will wear off
- 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)
