Like many other people I know, once a song gets stuck in my head it’s there for a good long time. My sister came up with a method to get rid of those songs, though: sing The Hustle (clip from the Seventies Dance Music Page) to yourself until the other music is gone. (The most important part of those instructions is to yourself!) Of course, then you’ve got The Hustle going through your head, but that’s a small price to pay.
Tonight, thanks to Mark Pilgrim, I get to see if it actually works. I really really really hope it does.
