I don't know about you, but when I wake up in the morning, there's always a song stuck in my head. It may go away for a little while if the alarm goes off and another song is playing, but the minute I let my guard down, here it comes again.
During his radio show, Australian scientist Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki was asked by a caller how to get rid of the song that was stuck in HER head. It was Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance."
Dr. Karl had an easy answer for her. Chew gum.
Why gum? The doctor said, "For some unknown reason the same pathways in your brain that are used for programming your repeated jaw movement are also used for replaying music in your mind."
If that doesn't work, you can try reading to yourself, listening to a different song, or playing an instrument.
