My child won't stop singing the "Lava Chicken" song from the Minecraft movie. How do I go on living?

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 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.

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