BBC NEWS | Health | How tunes get stuck in your head

Truly one of life's most unjust little pecadillos - the phantom song. Last week I was haunted by the theme tune to the Monkees', Edelweiss, and Dexy's "Come on Eilleen," for far too long on seperate occassions.

Luckily, my dear friend Beryl, aka The Great Sandwich, (find her here) once taught me the absolute cure for this disease (did this come from her biology background, her special relationship with God, good old fashioned Boise, ID common sense????): interrupt the terrible song in your head with the tune and lyrics of Billy Idol's "White Wedding." It works every damn time.

The researchers cited in this article don't mention this surefire cure, but they seem to hint at it.

filtering out all but the beautiful smut!
