Any tricks on getting a song from being stuck in your head?

Rented the movie "Whip it" this weekend and now I can't get the song "So Caught Up In You" by .38 Special from playing over and over in my head. It's a good song but I just want it to stop! What do you do to get the music to stop. I've been listening to other songs on my iPod, but that ain't working.

Hehe. I've had that Owl City - Fireflies song in my head all weekend. I know how you feel.

Find another song to get stuck in your head. The songs on your ipod wont work because you've heard them already and probably killed them to death.

I recommend Bo Peep by T-Ara. (K-pop group)
Can't give you youtube link since its blocked at work here :/

That song is annoying but very catchy.

Listen to the song again and move on to others. That usually does the trick for me.

OK, I'm downloading it to my iPod. I will attempt listening to it multiple times, then listening to something else.

I had that military cadence stuck in my head for years after boot camp. I could not walk anywhere without sounding off on my left foot every time it hit the ground. Ugh!

I finally beat it (Just beat it!) with mental control. Each time the cadence started in my head, I would forcibly stop it and think of something else. It can return quickly in an instant. It is very tough to stop.

I sing "Jesus Loves Me" every time the song pops into my hide. It actually works really well.

You'll never find, as long as you live
Someone who cares for you, like I do...

Did that help?


Anyway, the only way is to play the song again all the way to the end. That brings closure.

I listen to that very same song over and over again until I'm sick of it. This works 100% for me.
