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?
I do live for those moments...
that may be even harder than tuning it out
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.
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.
That wouldn't be very lava chicken of you to do, to ruin a phrase like that.
Record it from all angles at all opportunities and play the video at their wedding. Until then, sustain yourself on the antici

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

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.
Duck Tales! Awoo-oo!
We might solve a mysteryyy... 😀
Or rewrite history! 😬
I might also humbly suggest the theme to TaleSpin, that one's a beaut ☺️

Start singing it with them. Do it sincerely. You'll either kill their joy or you two will have a moment.
Or find a song they hate to constantly sing. Maybe some old person music like Hoobastank.

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.

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.
Unleash...the Sandstorm!
Start singing baby shark song, or what did the fox say. Expand his ~~repetuar~~ repertoire.
Edit: Dino spelling

Sink enough money into lava chicken paraphernalia for the child to instantly lose all interest in it.
Steady now, my generation got through the Macarena, you'll get through this. Nice deep breaths... in... out...

La la la lava!
I mean it's not Baby Shark?
It can still be worse,
I once overheard a group of kindergarteners continually yelling “Skibidi toilet” at repeat.

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

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.

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.
You deafen yourself with a sharp pencil. Only way.
Oh my gosh, your comment made me sick.
I mean really, who in their right mind would even consider that? Personally I can't even imagine just wasting a perfectly good pencil. Please be a responsible adult and use a fork instead (in case you can't fit the fork into your ear canal you might wanna widen it with a spoon first. Btw. spoons are the goto in case your ability to see is bothering you too)
