Ridge,
Sorry to hear of your infection. I confess I don't get unwanted
earworms often. When I do, I usually re-imagine it in some way. Most
often, I change the time signature. Turn it into a waltz or a jig or
something else that it's not. If you can, imagine it in some Eastern
European time signature. An interesting one for contra tunes is
actually a change in rhythm emphasis rather than the time signature
itself. 123.123.12 is still 8 beats. Another good one is
123.123.12.12.12.
Good luck!
Roger

Curse you callers & musicians. I am now infected
with one of the most
insidious of parasites: The earworm Baumontum Raggus. The nasty little
creature is crawling through my subconscious at a leisurely 86 bpm,
frequently raising its volume and causing erratic shoulder shimmies and
the occasional bobbing of the head. Shame on all of you for allowing
this beastly little bug to spread.
