I can't remember where I first heard this, but I've always been able to get songs out of my head by singing them like Bob Dylan. I don't have to actually sing them out loud, but if I change the voice and cadence of the singer to Bob Dylan, the song goes away.

If it's an instrumental song, however, I'm screwed.

Do you like Bob Dylan, or is that a form of aversion therapy?

Have you tried "Bob plays harmonica" for the instrumentals?
