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?
Play him the meow mix song. It’s the alpha predator of ear worms.
See if they like “Yellow Submarine” and switch over to the Beatles?
Oh man, this was my history teacher’s favorite song back in middle school. Used to play it in class every. day. I thought I got away from that song… And I did for 17 years…
Now it’s stuck in my head again!
Really any musical, especially one that hits that “I maybe shouldn’t be watching this” is a good option. Maybe Dr Horrible’s Sing Along Blog? Probably too young for Sweeney Todd
since the kid presumably likes games and/or memes i would suggest starting with this beatle classic https://youtu.be/dJ1KaspORsE?si=n2Jg5i8r8YmPQu6u
Wow, you actually managed to find the other song I absolutely hate when he plays!
Our neighbor got him started with undertale and let me tell you… He is not good at it, and man does he get angry when he dies.
But his undertale tantrums are another story, for now let me just express how tired I am of hearing the undertake soundtrack which he plays on loop, especially megalovania!
You know I played that game once, I thought it did some clever things, but never again… That boy has ruined it for me.
La la la lava!
Ch ch ch chicken!
Steve’s Lava Chicken, yeah it’s tasty as hell
Ooh mamacita, now you’re ringin’ the bell!
Crispy and juicy, now you’re havin’ a snack
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)
Depending on your child’s age and your bond you could also simply get rid of the child.
Oh man… That’s the dream. I think I’ve missed my window for that though, at this point the wife is pretty committed to keeping him.
Sounds like a lot of work, unless you got a set of stairs and a shovel
Think of all the future effort it’ll save, though.
Pro gamer move here!
Sink enough money into lava chicken paraphernalia for the child to instantly lose all interest in it.
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)
Who’s wasting it? Just wipe it off with a paper towel and you can use it on your crossword!
Why would you waste perfectly fine food by wiping it off with a towel? Kids in africa can surely still eat that!
Also just in case your crossword puzzle starts talking to you: no it didn’t (they’re not actually sentient, but can still feel pain of course). And please for the love of god, don’t ask it about it’s opinion on skin colors
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
Interrupt by yelling “CHICKEN JOCKEY” every few bars.
I’m not sure that’s really gonna make the situation better though…
First you mine. Then you craft. MINECRAFT!
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.
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.
Try switching to Parry Grip, some of it is OK and the catalogue is big enough they don’t really get stuck.
And just to show solidarity the other day my kid just kept 'teenage mutant ninja turtles’ing for what felt like a half hour without a single ‘heroes in a half shell’ to round it off.
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.
Do you play Minecraft?
I have yet to watch it but i assume there is very little to connect with if you don’t?
Depending on how old your kids are and if you are not already playing, playing on a local server together is great family time and can provide situations for real bonding aswell as real world educational discussions.
It has very little to connect with even if you do play minecraft. If you watch youtubers play minecraft, on the other hand, it’s probably perfect.
It’s basically a gen Alpha (maybe Z at a stretch) cringe comedy movie more than a minecraft movie. That’s mostly just the setting.
His uncle took him to see the movie (a real bullet dodged for me).
I saw the honest trailer for it and decided it was exactly as much of the movie as I needed to see.
It is not a good movie, but my kids enjoyed it, so I got some vicarious pleasure out of the experience. I wouldn’t watch it on my own.
I don’t know why people dislike it so much other than the girl and her brother doing a terrible job at being relatable or authentic. I thought Jack Black and Jason Momoa did a great job and I’m not even a fan of Momoa.
Agreed. It was a fine example of a kid movie with kid actors. If you go in with low expectations, you probably won’t be disappointed.
Yeah same. It was our first theater experience together and we had a blast. The movie is aggressively mediocre although it does have a few moments.
I put it on for myself(42) the other day it took all my will to not turn it off 3 mins in, I broke by 25 mins and turned it off. I then mocked my buddy who said it wasn’t bad(he has 2 boys in prime Minecraft movie age).
I have an 18 month old girl with another on the way, not looking forward to whatever her equivalent frozen/Minecraft movie is. But I have also sung more wheels on the bus than I can stand.
I sat through a couple of the Paw Patrol movies when my guys were younger. It helps if you can find a way to appreciate them for what they are.
Or sleep. I slept through the Mario movie and I think that made it way better.
Go out for a pack of cigarettes, start over.
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.
