HELP!! I Can't Get This Song Out of My Head!

Someone please give me advice as to how I can get this horrid song out of my mind. I have always hated this song, and haven't heard it in years, but somewhere in the depths of my subconscious, it has hatched--like a delayed-action explosive device concocted in hell.

The song? "Long-Haired Lover From Liverpool" by Jimmie Osmond. This particular ditty was sprung on an unsuspecting world in the early 1970s. I hated it the first time I heard it ion the radio, and cannot stand it now. But, last week it just popped into my mind and it plays over and over. AAAAAaaaaaahhhhh!!!

Please what can I do to make it stop?

What was your relationship to cheese when you were a child?

[Jack Wilson]

Easy. Start thinking about "The Night Chicago Died" by Paper Lace.

[Skooz]

Cheese? I have had a healthy relationship with cheese for as long as I can remember.

[truthkeeper]

I know exactly what you mean. I have the same problem with "Dizzy" by Tommy James and the Shondells.

Argh...Summer 1975. The worst 3 months in the history of recorded music.

[EggsAckley]

Hold your breath for 30 minutes. You'll never hear that song again. Works great for hiccups to, btw.

You've got to replace it (at least temporarily) with something else.

Put 'Long Haired Country Boy' by CDB on repeat for two hours.

[StriperSniper]

Try THIS.

Listen to Herman's Hermit's "Henry the VIII" once and you'll never think of that other song again.

Of course then you'll have "Second verse, same as the first" in your head for LIFE afterwards.

Trust me, I know. ;-)

All of this is just too coincidental not to be related to something.

Think of an even more annoying song...like "Achy-Breaky Heart" or "Because I Got High" or anything by Blink-182.

"Kung Fu Fighting" must be in that window somewhere. And what about the "Ooga chucka" song? That was very big in my Webelo troup at the time.

Then again, I haven't been able to get "Dancing Queen" out of my head since 1977. That might have something to do with Helga or whatever her name is...

[MooCollins]

Alcohol, and lots of it, applied directly to the blood stream, should flush it out nicely...

[DrewsDad]

Memorize Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.

Then ask yourself if "Long-Haired Lover From Liverpool" fits this description.

Rain drops keep falling on my head....

[Focault's Pendulum]

You think you have problems? Go here. Go here

[Ward Smythe]

I have the same problem with "Dizzy" by Tommy James and the Shondells.

I'm stopping right here on this thread in case you people make anymore suggestions...

"I'm Hooked on a Feeling." B.J. Thomas did the original.
