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?
I just wanted to watch the chicken jockey scene for closure.
Make your kid listen to Slayer.
- 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)
Play him the meow mix song. It’s the alpha predator of ear worms.

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.
Perception Check is my favorite but wow so many f bombs.
Naughty of nice is great too, and HYCYBH is amazing
Idk about kids singing HYCYBH…
I could imagine them using it on a teacher in class.
Teacher: “… Where is my board eraser”
Child: “HYCYBH?”
Teacher: Calls parents.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.
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
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.
There’s way worse songs this could be happening with…

Lava chicken is quite groovy actually, tasty. You’re in luck.
Sing it back to them
Replace it with this delightful little melody https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESViOhqRdlE
Go out for a pack of cigarettes, start over.
Steady now, my generation got through the Macarena, you’ll get through this. Nice deep breaths… in… out…
And MmmBop (which tbh hits these days in a very sad sad way)
In a mmmbop it really is gone
Depending on how cool you are maybe if you start singing it they’ll stop
that’s what they™ want you to do
Right!
Nice try son.

I have had this exact issue with that frozen music. You are essentially done. Years later i still recall that music.
just let it go
Brutal…
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.
🤷♂️
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.
THAT’S NOT HOW IT GOES, DAD!
… Oh? It doesn’t?
I do live for those moments…
Mine would crack up and switch to that
- results not guaranteed. 🤣
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. 🤣
