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.
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.

Go out for a pack of cigarettes, start over.
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...
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 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. 🤣

- Ignore it, if there’s no reaction the novelty will wear off
- sing along, but change the words to something even more stupid so that the kid doesn’t like the song any more (I don’t know the song and won’t look it up, but I’m sure you can figure it out)

Tom Cardy, one of the best musical comedians of our age. He has many songs with extremely catchy lines that are actually funny while also being tolerable to hear many times over. There is a definite need for a language warning if you are not good with swearing, but his Lord of the Rings one is amazing.
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...
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.
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.

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.

Sing it back to them
Record it from all angles at all opportunities and play the video at their wedding. Until then, sustain yourself on the antici

Start singing baby shark song, or what did the fox say. Expand his ~~repetuar~~ repertoire.

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.

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.
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.

Get back at them by singing Peaches from the Mario Bros movie. You know, Jack Black and all that.
RIP
Make your kid listen to Slayer.
Play him the meow mix song. It's the alpha predator of ear worms.
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.
There's way worse songs this could be happening with...

Lava chicken is quite groovy actually, tasty. You're in luck.
Expose him to Baby Shark.
Then the Badgers song.
Lather, rinse, repeat until he latches onto a song you can tolerate.

Not the answer you're looking for, but this reminded me of a short video I saw a long time ago where it was some kids being obnoxious ( as they're known for ) on a train and this man snaps and screams, in Chinese, "Shut up! I wanna die!" because of how tired he was.
Cannot find the clip when I search for it, but I think it's pretty funny. Nor do I remember where I saw it, but that specific little video thing has absolutely stuck with me.l ever since I saw it.
