The surefire trick that gets rid of an earworm everytime, 80% guaranteed.
Think of the ending of the song. Let it conclude soundly in your head. If you don't know the ending, you can imagine a big dramatic ending. It let's your brain stop the loop.

Okay I'm going to show my rock hiding abilities. Should I know the song Hello? I think I have heard the first one.
I've had some success in transmitting my earworms to friends at work. I tend to get silly things like the brady bunch or puff the magic dragon in my head. By singing them at someone else I have managed to exorcise the worm and share the 'joy'.
Pick a good one next time.

MeowMox theme is the alpha earworm. One "I like chicken I like liver" and other earworms run for the hills
