For my sins, Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas" is stuck in my head in July. I don't know what caused it, other than bad karma

Admission: because of when I first heard this song, I always associate it with Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Olivia Olson.

I have a solution, if you want. Learn this song, at least the first verse and refrain, and sing it whenever you get something stuck in your head. Works 99% of the time: "Oh Superman! Oh, Judge Oh, Mom and Dad.... Mom and Dad" www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vkfp...

To stop an earworm, you need a terminator, a musical phrase that ends sharply, such as "By Mennen!" or "Liberty, Liberty, Liberty!" Sing either of these and they'll immediately derail your earworm. Repeat as needed.
