BBC News - Ten readers' cures for earworms

A Magazine feature that explored why some tunes seem to get lodged in your head has got readers thinking about how best to get rid of these sticky songs.

My sister Nina and I call it Onomatomania. There is no particular song that gets stuck. Each time is different, but the most aggravating is when you only know one line of the verse, or when you don't even like the song. The cure we have tried - and this is dangerous so we only use it when desperate - is to start singing New York, New York. That will usually clear out the stuck song, but occasionally takes over like a dictator after a revolution.
