Ah, Bach! I hadn't thought of him in a while. Thanks.

I sing the Mexican Hat Dance to myself. It's simple enough that it doesn't usually brainworm me in return and it stops me thinking about the original song.

Thank you.

If it's a song, I purposely sing it over and over to myself and that seems to 'blow the fuse'.

[josanpq]

Tried that...but the bloody song kept coming back the moment I fell asleep.

I'm of the "listen to it until my brain is bored with it" school. Usually it works relatively rapidly, especially if it's more than a line or two of the song that stuck.

[josanpq]

My brain, unfortunately, did not grow bored with it. :-(

It's only been a day!

Ode to Joy, in my head. It's another earworm, but it's prettier and it usually replaces the annoyance.

Sigh. Not at 3 a.m. Everything's an annoyance at 3 a.m.
