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?

My 4yo loves the whole soundtrack. my wife and I just sing along with him

I just showed him hakuna matata and we're singing that too.

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.

Expose him to Baby Shark.

Then the Badgers song.

Lather, rinse, repeat until he latches onto a song you can tolerate.

My partner and I used to switch between The Electric Slide and The Hustle as our earworms, so one day we mixed them together because it's the same tune. Now THAT is constantly stuck in our heads

All I'm saying is be careful with this approach for you may make a worse monster

Introduce them to the Chicken Banana song.

Make your kid listen to Slayer.

That jingle does suck butt.

Wait. Before you blow your brain out have you considered surgical removal of your ears?

Start singing baby shark song, or what did the fox say. Expand his ~~repetuar~~ repertoire.

Edit: Dino spelling

[-] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Repetaur sounds like a great fictional dinosaur to add to my son's repertoire.

Just get an even worse song stuck in your head, like this one: https://youtu.be/lrPncVUR_3Y

Depending on your childs age and your bond maybe just tell them you don't like the song? Might just work for some children, if they're able to empathize with you (should be doable for most. Empathy can be taught!)

Noise canceling earbuds/a headset might be an option too (for you, or your child. Doesn't really matter)

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