While we'll likely never tire of adorable Baby Yoda, it seems the Mandalorian has had it up to here with the child.

During episode four of the Disney+ Star Wars series The Mandalorian, the titular bounty hunter takes everyone's favorite green 50-year-old infant into the cockpit of his ship, which is a bit like taking someone who's just gone through a rough breakup into the ice-cream aisle at Walmart.

The cockpit is full of colorful lights and interesting switches, catnip for tiny children — so of course our big-eared baby can't help but touch them.

The actual purpose of the buttons Baby Yoda presses isn't clear, but it probably isn't good judging from the ship's shuddering. Fortunately the Mandalorian is quick to undo whatever mischief the little gremlin gets up to, eventually picking him up and removing him from temptation altogether.

It's a cute little sequence that gives off incredibly strong dad vibes, which have now been enhanced by several Twitter users.

It started with the Lil Jon version.

Now, people have been editing the highly exploitable scene to make it about Baby Yoda switching on any number of certified bangers despite the Mandalorian's irritation — from Kelly Clarkson, Future, and Evanescence to the Succession theme and (given it's now December) a Mariah Carey classic.

After all, what's a (space) road trip without a fight over the radio?

Yes, the Succession theme is a certified banger.

It's understandable why space dad keeps turning it off — some of those tunes aren't very age-appropriate.
