This isn't game related.

Have you ever had a song get stuck in your head? I've got one stuck and I cant get rid of it. Nothing I've tried listneing to will get rid of it. I've tried Numa Numa, Duck Tails, Animaniacs, and a few others and no dice. Does anyone know of a really catchy tune that I can use to get rid of this song? Its driving me nuts.

Listen to the song again, all the way, not halfway. Sometimes that works.

I don't know if they have medication for this or not.

Try the Hamster Dance song.

Or try listening to the radio. It's kind of hard to have one song stuck in your head while you're listening to another.

If you don't have radio handy (or even if you do), you can always try www.pandora.com.

Hmm. Sounds like you need the "Song in head swap meet".

Basically you post the song in YOUR head in spoiler tags (they don't seem to have those here) and you then highlight spoiler tags until you get something that knocks it out.

Like this. (Starts a few years ago, but then again there's no expiration date on "Duke of Earl". )

I've found that "Footloose" will kill almost any song I get stuck in my head. I once had Alan Jackson's "Chatahootchee" (or however you spell it) stuck in my head for over a week because it was on continuous loop at the store where I worked. "Footloose" killed it dead.

Only been hit 3 times, but one was with a stew pot.

Cure for 'Earworms' (a song stuck in your head.)

Pick a song, any song. Preferable something you like and that you are not likely to hear too often, if at all. This will be your 'Kill song'

Whenever you get a song stuck in your head, think/hum/sing your 'Kill song' and ONLY your 'Kill song'.

Repeat, if necessary.

I have never had to repeat my 'Kill song' more than twice.

I don't think you guys understand the seriousness of this. Its been in there for two weeks now. A customer I had at the time had the song playing in a loop with her other favorites. I was stuck working on that house for 6 hours. I ended up having to listen to that song over and over again sometimes hearing just random bits or muted through the attic. Man she had that stuff cranked to 11. The song is Bad Romance by Lady Gaga. That part of the song thats just nonsense keeps repeating itself over and over in my head. Even Blue October's Into the Ocean which normally will kill any song I've gotten stuck in there wont work on this one. That why I resorted to Ducktales and the other stuff listed above. They're normally things I try to get rid of. I figured I'd replace it with a lesser evil.

Your such a wonderful person Cyphier. Thanks for reinforcing the thought I've been trying to get rid of.

I find 'Bohemian Rhapsody' or 'Stairway to Heaven' usually replaces any other songs lingering in my head.... YMMV

Crim, my response was completely serious.

Is this the "Kill, kill, kill them all" song?

Do dogs tell you that it's your duty to purge the world of their filth?

Cause, like, that's not good.

A friend of mine swears by the Imperial March (do I have to say "from Star Wars"?) . Does that help?

In case of severe emergency, and I'm not responsible for what happens if you click on this link, there is this. I listened to it once, and resolved never to inflict it on anyone I know in 3-d, who could drive to my house and hurt me.

Me: "Song in head. You've never heard it. You don't want to hear it."
Wife: "OK."

If you're gonna go get a song stuck in your head, why not make it a good one?

Perhaps you can play this song a few times and get something worth hanging on to in your head's repeat cycle.

I found one that killed it. My employers won't let me bring a radio with me. They think it distracts from the job. I finally gave up. Here's the song that killed it. Should I be sad that I had to RickRoll myself to get Lady Gaga's song out of my head? Oh I wasn't meaning that yall weren't serious about the help. Her song was just driving me nuts.
