Get Outta My Head!

How many of you have a song stuck in your head right now? Well, I've got one and it's not just stuck in my head, it's taken root and holding tea parties. For months now I find myself humming or whistling or God help me, singing it on a near daily basis. Now I know what you're thinking..."That's bad, but really, it could be a lot worse." It is. This song or "travesty" as I like to call it. is inexplicably MC Hammer's "Pray." You can start weeping for me now.

I could deal with this if it was a remotely good piece of music...some classical work or classic rock ditty maybe? A good 80's or 90's song perhaps? But Hammer's ode to the church? In the words of the immortal Gob Bluth: "COME ON!"

I never know when Hammer's gonna strike. Sometimes it's early in the day, sometimes late. Sometimes he's kind enough to give me (YOU GOT TO PRAY...PRAY!!...arrrgh...please Hammer, stop hurting me!) a day or 2 off, but that's probably because he knows that providing me with any sliver of hope or relief makes his comeback that much more offensive and cruel. I'm beginning to think I might have to start paying Hammer royalties.

Sometimes I even find myself unwittingly singing it but substituting whatever words I happen to see at that moment. Example: "pc riCHARD'S CHARDS!! pc riCHARDS!! CHARDS!! Sony tvs only 400 bucks...pc riCHARD'S CHARDS!!" and so forth.

So I figure there's only three ways out of this mess:

1. Go back in time and kill Hammer
2. Invent that machine from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind that allows you to pinpoint and exterminate bad memories
3. Listen to a good song a zillion or so times until it unceremoniously bludgeons "Pray" out of my head
   

Since choices 1 and 2 are currently impossible, choice 3 seems to be the way to go. But which song? Could The Sopranos theme whack Hammer? Song suggestions are most welcome.
