It used to be 'Then Comes Dudley'
but I've had Sleater-Kinney's Modern Girl in my head
for about three weeks and the Jesus Lizard aint working none more.

Any suggestions?

on a couple occasions, Steve has said that the best cleanser song is Private Dancer (as performed by Tina Turner). I believe the reasoning is that it's such a strong chorus hook, easy to hear in one's head, and then good fucking luck remembering anything more than the chorus hook. so it just sorta goes away.

'Baby please don't leave me' by Buddy Guy
I have been walking around humming the bass line and singing it for 5 days now

'Oh Boy' by Buddy Holly is one of several Buddy Holly songs that get stuck in my head for extended periods of time. I do not mind at all when his songs get stuck in my head.

It's not a good song but the only way I can ever get "Tom's Diner" by Suzanne Vega is to sing to myself "Groove is in the Heart" by Dee-lite.

The drums of Sonic Youth's Schizophrenia.

I agree

the pixies do it for me

The Flowers of Romance

If that doesn't work, then sometimes I'll give Metal Machine Music a listen.

For the really insidious strains of saccharine pop mental virii that are immune even to MMM, I give 'em a long, loud blast of Merzbow. That always does the trick.

ramones. anything.
