Without going into inappropriate detail or blunting her natural joie de vivre, how to dissuade a five year old daugter from singing a song, taught her by a naughty older child, that goes “I’m Having A Sex Wave! A Tropical Sex Wave!” at the top of her voice in the supermarket?

god help you
Teach her a better song.
Replace the song. The more annoying and catchier the better. This one [I can’t seem to kill even with fire](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Uq734_nZ7Eo)
You could try to change the words to something fun that fit the melody. Could even include the shopping items to add another layer and prompt her to also look for the items.
I’ve been there, I feel you. Also write this down somewhere, it may be a fun story when she gets older.
Give her something that will occupy her time and attention for the duration of the supermarket trip. Like a lollipop.
*firm voice* pick a different song
Change the word “sex” to checks or something else that rhymes.
beating your child would solve that real quick
Honestly I’d laugh my arse off if I witnessed that scene lol
mabye, be an adult and explain its not okay
and if she continues, tell her the trolls from under her bed will kidnap her, take her to a spongbob like underwater paradise, but instead of spongbob, it will be Dick Cheney as the main character, and she will only be able to eat steamed hams for the rest of her underwater life.
I say fuckit. Sounds hilarious. Sing with her.
Tell her that some people consider the words curse words, or naughty words. You don’t have to explain yet why, but you can use the cultural pointing taboo as an example (pointing is like middle finger in some places). That way you can teach about there being a time and a place without a sex shaming mentality getting established so early.
I had a similar problem when my munchkin heard Summer of ’69, he loved it and sang it a lot which wasn’t so bad, but he also liked to shout about 69 being his favorite number and it being the best soooooo, we just said 69 is like a curse word to some people.
This reminds me of my brother singing an iconic bicycle song, but the words are replaced with penis:
“Oh I sure love my penis, it brings me quick around the place” just directly translated, as I’m not willing to make anything rhyme
She’s too young to understand what it means. It doesn’t matter what other people think. Other people suck.
