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.
RIP
Start singing baby shark song, or what did the fox say. Expand his repetuar
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...
Have them watch too many cooks.
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 takes a lot to make a stew
A pinch of salt and laughter too
Sue him. Or record him, upload to Youtube and threaten to copyright strike him.
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.
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 ☺️
Yeah but DuckTales is quality. So that's fine.
Yep. He immediately dialed into it because Gravity Falls is an old favourite, and these shows share a good bit of DNA. I just like to hear Danny Pudi.
Tell him or her that if it's underground, it's called magma rather than lava.
Haha, that's a pretty good plan for whenever he does something annoying. Just "well actually" at him until he stops.
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.
H a m p s t e r d a n c e
You… still want to keep contact with them, right? I mean, who will take care of you when you’re older?
Unleash...the Sandstorm!
Return to sender
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.

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. 🤣
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.
Genuine question - why is that deemed a good answer? I'd expect an actual solution for a child to be more apropriate than humiliating an adult later in life. Like the suggestions telling to start singing it yourself, wrongly, seem much more effective and appropriate to me.
Full disclosure tho: Not a parent and no plans to ever be one
The suggestion and response are both meant humorously. It clearly isn't actually a good answer because it doesn't actually solve the problem, except in some passive-agressive far-off-in-the-future way.
Ah that's on me missing the clue then, apologies. Though in my defense, there are parents that do stuff like this.
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.
