How Do You Get A Song That's Stuck In Your Head OUT Of Your Head?... I mean besides a lobotomy.
For about 3 days now I've had that song "Stumblin' In" by Suzie Quatro stuck in my freakin' head, and it will NOT leave lol ...If I'm busy working or if my mind's occupied with too many issues, I'm ok. But as soon as even a small amount of space makes itself available, the damn chorus jumps to the front and starts repeating itself...stinkin' Leather Tuscadero. Our love is alive And so we begin Foolishly laying our hearts on the table Stumblin' in I...can NOT...get...it...OUT!! Any suggestions on what I can do? I've tried replacing it with other songs, but this is one potent mf'ing song lol ...I don't even know how it got in there to begin with ...After one whole day of unconsciously singing the thing to myself at every possibly moment, I made the mistake of going to YouTube to actually listen to the song again for the first time in like 20 years, thinking maybe if I heard it I would no longer need to put it on repeat in my cranium. Big mistake. I think it just embedded the song deeper into my brain lol ... And on that note: Why should I suffer alone lol | |

Listening to instrumental tracks can help to get rid of earworm...
Good luck. | |

Listen to some other songs you like and maybe the new track will replace that one. Ohh purple joy oh purple bliss oh purple rapture! REAL MUSIC by REAL MUSICIANS - Prince "I kind of wish there was a reason for Prince to make the site crash more" ~~ Ben |

Listen to another song. Something long and good but not overly catchy. Don't want the earworm to replace itself. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

try using another song, blast it in your head (or sing aloud) until the first song gets unstuck.
if you play an instrument practice on it for a while. that works too. good luck! | |

I hate earworms, but I've found the only two things that get rid of them are time and/or another equally infecting song.
