   Every time you post this I wander around for the next two days with that   
   tune in my head. I don't even have to read the article, just see the   
   title and I'm all "the good ol' boys were drinkin' ..." until I clear it   
   out.   
      
   Here's my trick to get a tune out of my head: I hum "Jesus Loves Me" for   
   a while and for some reason, the stuck tune goes away, but the old hymn   
   doesn't get stuck. I have no idea how I stumbled on this, but I've been   
   doing it for many years.
