    Fighting it is a new thing for me. It’s not really even fighting it, I’ve just chosen a “default” song that, as soon as I notice I’m starting to repeat an unwanted melody or lyric in my head, I’ll start thinking intently on my “default” song and it basically forces the other song out.

    Then I have the intro to “Good Times, Bad Times” by Led Zeppelin (my “default” song) in my head for a few min before it fades away. I’m not sure how I came up with it, but it’s something I only thought about doing in the last few years. It kind of works usually.

    I will often swap lyrics with other songs, or just make up my own which sometimes makes me giggle.

      Good TImes/Bad Times never turns into an earworm, though? It behaves itself, comes when bidden, then leaves when its job is done?
