I gotta post something to bump my last post, since it has a song in my head that I’d rather not be experiencing right now. Different people have different “palate cleansing” songs. My bf’s mom uses Ode to Joy. I’ve found Astro-Zombies by The Misfits is pretty good for me, but not 100% effective. I think the more familiar I am with the earworm du jour, the easier it is to come right back. This most recent one I haven’t heard in literal decades, but back when it was new? Probably listened to it dozens of times.
What do you use to help dislodge and unwelcome song from your brainpiece?
–
I go back to my college years (no real surprise), particularly if it’s a song that has a personal emotional hook. Not that this will necessarily help you, but my first resorts would be “I Melt With You”, “It’s A Sin”, and “Fanfare for the Common Man”. If I need a strong bass line, maybe “Relax”.
I use the Flying Lizards’ “Money”
It’s so damn danceable.
