Anybody have any tricks to stop that? I usually have a song (or several) stuck in my head when not actively talking or thinking, which I like generally. But this is overriding that and it’s driving me nuts.

Edit: thanks for the tips, everyone. Eventually Rammstein took over and I was made normal again. But I’ll be sure to try some of these next time it happens.

    for earworms (i.e. songs), i erase it with Wanna Date My Avatar.

    that song never sticks in my head when I don’t want it 👍

    i haven’t tested but i theorize this song works so well because it’s based on a very basic rhythm. my guess is the beat track is from a generic free track pre-programmed into electric keyboards (music, not computer typing).

    so by extension, other simple midi style beat tracks or simple songs could also work.
