that's what they™ want you to do

THAT'S NOT HOW IT GOES, DAD!

... Oh? It doesn't?

that may be even harder than tuning it out

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!

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.

That wouldn't be very lava chicken of you to do, to ruin a phrase like that.

Duck Tales! Awoo-oo!

That song never left my head and its been living rent free up there since I was a kid

Or find a song they hate to constantly sing. Maybe some old person music like Hoobastank.

Unleash...the Sandstorm!

I don't wanna sound old here...

I got bad news for you, that's basically all we're doing right now.

I played Minecraft as a teenager when it was in Beta (you can do the math for my rough age based on that) and I took my kids to see it as a fun family outing. It was a fun kids movie, and it was wild hearing the Minecraft soundtrack in the theatre lobby, but honestly while I'm glad I saw it in the theatre, it wasn't anything I'd go out of my way to see again. My kids however have watched it multiple times since it's hit streaming

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.

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.

Haha, that's a pretty good plan for whenever he does something annoying. Just "well actually" at him until he stops.

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!

since the kid presumably likes games and/or memes i would suggest starting with this beatle classic https://youtu.be/dJ1KaspORsE?si=n2Jg5i8r8YmPQu6u

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

Repetaur sounds like a great fictional dinosaur to add to my son's repertoire.

Ch ch ch chicken!

It takes a lot to make a stew

A pinch of salt and laughter too

Oh shit... I don't think he's ready for that level of weird...

Hah, now I just want to know what he'd think of it.

It can still be worse,

I once overheard a group of kindergarteners continually yelling “Skibidi toilet” at repeat.

He has a set of shark PJs, and whenever he wears them I sing [his name] shark do do do do do...

And he immediately responds "STOOOOP DAD! PLEASE! I ALREADY TOLD YOU BEFORE!"

And I'll never stop doing it

I'm not sure that's really gonna make the situation better though...

Perception Check is my favorite but wow so many f bombs.

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)
