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.

    🤷‍♂️

      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!

      Peaches peaches peaches peaches

      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.

        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. 🤣
