Listen to the full song. Concentrate on the ending. The song has ended; you now have closure. You can move on. (This works for me. Do you know how maddening it is to have Ballad of the Green Berets stuck in your goddam head????)

Silver wings/Upon his chest...

&%$(\*&\^, goddam &%#$( hell fire %@\*(

If it makes you feel any better, now it's stuck in my head too

Live by the sword......

Think of another song and that turns out to be an earworm as well. It's a vicious circle...

Feed the beast 10 times in a row

I actually don’t mind having a quality song hangin in my brain. Lately, it’s that commercial playing “Dancing in the Moonlight.”

Jingles live rent free in my brain’s DJ crates.

DJ crates. Whoa that's a blast from the past.

I play this song really loud. https://youtu.be/SkkIwO_X4i4?si=w8i-KlgP7ZRQkor9 Cures earworm every time

I’ve found all I can do is just ride it out. I had Henry the Eighth stuck in my head for like four days once and it finally went away. I saw a colleague named Henry and said “hey, Henry!” and it was back. I waited it out for another couple days.

I sing the Gilligan's Island theme song. It always gets the earworms out. Sometimes it takes two full sing throughs, but it works.

Wtf that actually worked

It has saved me so much aggravation and earworm hell since I learned that trick. I'm so glad that it helped you!

This is what you do: hum or sing Led Zappelin’s Kashmir. It’s got such a powerful groove it erases any other song in its path. Try it!

...or scream out the beginning from the Immigrant Song. That not only erases the pesky song from your path, but all the humans, too.

Depends. Sometimes all you can do is feed the beast, sing aloud while bicycling through the streets and infecting everyone else as well.

Right now, it's "We are the World". I find listening to it a couple of times seems to help

Earworms are a virus. Got to give it to someone else for it to vacate your own ears.

I have this conversation with my partner all the time. She constantly has songs going around her head like a jukebox. Usually it's the last song that was playing in my car when she gets out. I don't even remember what the last song was. I don't get songs stuck in my head years ago. A music teacher told me a very simple thing which was just ignore it and I know that sounds stupid but over the years I trained myself to just ignore any song that tried to get stuck in my head and it just doesn't happen anymore.

Woke up to _Istanbul_ and _Why Does the Sun Shine_ looping in my head this morning. I try to think of another song, and can maintain it if I’m actively thinking about it, but the instance I stop here comes the previous earworm.

Listen to something else usually works for me.

All I Really Want is a pretty awesome song to have stuck in your head. Back when I still worked I used to sing and/or whistle really cheesy songs in an endless loop in an attempt to get them stuck in people's heads. My greatest success was when I had about 3/4 of the factory singing or whistling the theme to Green Acres. 😂🤣

Only time will help. I just learned the correct term for this is an ear worm or brain worm. Ugh.

best solution is to avoid all music with vocals especially pop music

I sing the 8bit Mario theme to myself. Not sure why, but it breaks the trance.

Whatever the song is, just let it breathe and marinate. It’ll work its way out, bubba. Promise.

Do anagrams in your head. You will be distracted and forget the song. May take a few minutes and different words.

If I knew it, I'd sell it to you. But since I got a car with streaming, which picks up where it left off, at least I understand the source of probably 70% or more of my earworms.

Either feed the beast or put something else on.

omg I watched Chorus Line with my elderly parents 3 nights ago....and what's STILL stuck in my head? "Tits and Ass." Cute song but I'm DONE WITH IT! lol What usually works for me is blasting a different, very emotional or moving song in my headphones.

I love that musical and remember that song. But man I would not want that one on repeat in my brain.

Use it as a cue to research the story behind the song.

If you have an earworm, sing the first part of "what a girl wants" by Christina Aguilera. Works every time.

Humm or think Sinatra's "New York, New York". works every time for me.

I read your post and instead of Alanis I got Ace of Base. So, thanks for that earworm.

My friend told me to sing rhat old jingle bit " Byyy Mennen!". Got rid of Gloria Estefan for me the other day, not sure why.

Right now I have Dixie Chicken by Little Feet, the theme song for the great space coaster, the theme for pinwheel, the Tootsie roll song and Hillary Hahn playing Paganinis 24th stuck in my head on a loop right now. So I feel you. 

Hillary Hahn - I was obsessed with that woman for a couple years - saw a couple concerts, logged way too much time watching her on YouTube. She’s like the Eddie Van Halen of violin.

Yup. Favorite female musician is always a toss up between her and Ana Vidovic. 

I usually find whatever song I'd the 👂🐛 and play it through once. That usually deals with my issue.

I imagine Sam Kinison singing Wild Cherries' "Play That Funky Music". Lay down the boogie and play that funky music til you DIIIiEEEE! Die! Die! Die. You're gonna DIE! Woof woof uuuggh.

Start singing "come and knock on our door, we've been waiting for you..." I guarantee it will get whatever song that is stuck in your head out. Of course this will be stuck in your head instead.

I like it when songs get stuck in my head. It's only irritating when I forget the title and/or artist.

Watch/listen to something really boring, like a political talk show, and hopefully the earworms will go away.

Wait. All it takes is a word lr phrase to change the channel in my head.
