I hum it to myself all day. At first it's cool, and then it starts to piss off.<\/p>\n<p>I tried to find ways to get rid of the annoying song, re-read articles on a bunch of sites, talked to many forums. And yet I found several ways that I want to share with you.<\/p>\n<p>Most likely, you are not humming the whole song, but only a few lines of it. This is the Zeigarnik effect: a person remembers better material with an unfinished action, and mentally returns to it to finish.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sing your song out loud (almost shout) out loud.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The brain will immediately receive a signal that the song has already worked out material and will occupy itself with something else.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sing your song in a whisper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So you switch your brain from broadcasting the melody to playing it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Solve a crossword or puzzle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There is a danger here that the crossword puzzle will be too easy or difficult. In either case, the melody will return. Choose yourself a crossword puzzle on the border of comfort and acceptable difficulty. Sudoku puzzles and five-letter anagrams help the best.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Soviet student method<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If a song has become attached, then you need to sing only a few lines from the old anthem of the USSR:<\/p>\n<p>The unbreakable union of the free republics<\/p>\n<p>Great Russia rallied forever,<\/p>\n<p>Long live created by the will of the peoples<\/p>\n<p>One mighty Soviet Union &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The motive you all know. True, there is a danger that instead of an attached song, you will start humming the USSR Anthem, which is also not very good.<\/p>\n<p>Most likely, the brain will switch to the plot of the book and forget about the song, but not the fact.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, a list of songs that, according to foreign studies, most often get stuck in the head:<\/p>\n<p>Alejandro &#8211; Lady Gaga<\/p>\n<p>Bad Romance \u2013 Lady Gaga<\/p>\n<p>Call me Baby \u2013 Carly Rae Jepsen.<\/p>\n<p>Single Ladies \u2013 Beyonc\u00e9<\/p>\n<p>She Loves You \u2013 The Beatles<\/p>\n<p>I Wanna Hold Your Hand \u2013 The Beatles<\/p>\n<p>SOS &#8211; Rihanna<\/p>\n<p>You Belong with Me \u2013 Taylor Swif<\/p>\n<p>Russian scientists did not conduct such studies, which is a pity.<\/p>\n<p>That's all the internet has to offer.
