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?

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.

THAT'S NOT HOW IT GOES, DAD!

... Oh? It doesn't?

[โ€“] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

I do live for those moments...

[โ€“] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

that may be even harder than tuning it out

[โ€“] andyburke@fedia.io 18 points 1 day ago

About 3 days. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ 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. ๐Ÿคฃ

Mine would crack up and switch to that

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.
