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?

Depending on how cool you are maybe if you start singing it they'll stop

[-] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 13 points 5 months ago

that's what they™ want you to do

[-] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

Right!

Nice try son.

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.

🤷‍♂️

[-] andyburke@fedia.io 17 points 5 months ago

THAT'S NOT HOW IT GOES, DAD!

... Oh? It doesn't?

[-] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

I do live for those moments...

[-] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 8 points 5 months ago

that may be even harder than tuning it out

[-] andyburke@fedia.io 12 points 5 months ago

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. 🤣

Go out for a pack of cigarettes, start over.

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 21 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] seralth@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

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

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

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.

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

spoilerpation.

[-] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

That is some damn fine dadding right there. I think this is a perfect plan.

Tell him or her that if it's underground, it's called magma rather than lava.

[-] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

Haha, that's a pretty good plan for whenever he does something annoying. Just "well actually" at him until he stops.

[-] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 16 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 months ago

Unleash...the Sandstorm!

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.

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 months ago

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.

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

[-] TammyTobacco@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

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

[-] SonOfAntenora@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

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

See if they like "Yellow Submarine" and switch over to the Beatles?

Make it inhumanely cringe. Start calling everything lava chicken as a replacement for "cool", make lame ass Minecraft dad jokes at every opportunity, yell chicken jockey out the window to summon your spawn in public.

[-] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 4 points 5 months ago

That wouldn't be very lava chicken of you to do, to ruin a phrase like that.

[-] Fleur_@aussie.zone 6 points 5 months ago

Sing it back to them

Try switching to Parry Grip, some of it is OK and the catalogue is big enough they don't really get stuck.

And just to show solidarity the other day my kid just kept 'teenage mutant ninja turtles'ing for what felt like a half hour without a single 'heroes in a half shell' to round it off.

I mean it's not Baby Shark?

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 4 points 5 months ago

It can still be worse,

I once overheard a group of kindergarteners continually yelling “Skibidi toilet” at repeat.

[-] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

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

[-] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Get back at them by singing Peaches from the Mario Bros movie. You know, Jack Black and all that.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 5 months ago

Interrupt by yelling "CHICKEN JOCKEY" every few bars.

Sink enough money into lava chicken paraphernalia for the child to instantly lose all interest in it.

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 months ago

Not the answer you're looking for, but this reminded me of a short video I saw a long time ago where it was some kids being obnoxious ( as they're known for ) on a train and this man snaps and screams, in Chinese, "Shut up! I wanna die!" because of how tired he was.

Cannot find the clip when I search for it, but I think it's pretty funny. Nor do I remember where I saw it, but that specific little video thing has absolutely stuck with me.l ever since I saw it.
