There's something to be said about getting a song stuck in your head but how do you get rid of it, glad you asked. The University of Reading in England just found that the best way to get a song out of your head is by chewing gum, now this is a study by psychologists.

The study shows that people who chewed gum, the same amount of time they heard the song in their head was cut down by 33%.

The study shows the gum works because your chewing creates  inner speech (uh?).

In other words; your mouth moves at a different rhythm than the song so essentially it distracts your brain.

The researchers even think the gum technique could, say maybe on certain addictions, who knows?
