FWIW: In all seriousness.
This is a classic example of the struggle between your consciousness (soul) and your mind. The mind is like a errant child to be disciplined. It is a lifelong struggle to train it to do your bidding and not the other way around. Good luck.

Luckily, nowadays it’s easy to locate most songs on the internet for free. I remember in the old days, when some horrible one-hit-wonder song got stuck in my head, I’d actually have to breakdown and buy the album in order to get it out of my system.

Bach Cello Suite No.1 in G Major. The version I have in my mind all the time is by Yo-Yo Ma
On the other side of that coin, I will often wake at 2 or 3 am with tele-tubbbies theme, or something really sick like Yo gabba gabba Frodo Dancy dance song or some sicktwisted freakish thing like that. The H O R R O R.

LMAO!!!
Just found this thread as I’m sitting here singing “Super Freak” from some Visa commercial!
The only cure I’ve found is to replace it with another song.
Oh, wait. That’s not a cure...

Lucky me! My mind is tracking on an instrumental- Jeff Beck’s “Love Is Green” and no, it is NOT the environmentalist’s kind of green...

I have a filthy mind, I really do. It's that rock & roll. And, you know what that leads to.

It's that rock & roll. And, you know what that leads to.Oh, believe me, I do. It leads to sloppy dress, poor manners, and wanton women.

When I was a kid we had the old 78 record of "My Blue Heaven", which was a big hit for Gene Austin. The record ends with " . . . nothing but blue days, from now on". There was a story that he intentionally blew the line due to having gone through a divorce. Maybe it was a legend to sell more records.
Needless to say, I don't have any problem calling up that "earworm".

jacamo finanay "Jockomo" was probably first recorded by James "Sugar Boy" Crawford & the Cane Cutters on Chess Records in 1953. That's my favorite version of the tune.
To: 19th LA Inf
I don’t know about that version but I remember the Fats
Domino version.
