Have you ever had a song stick in your head and maybe you even catch yourself singing it out loud as you stroll down to the copy machine or coffee machine at work? That can get a little aggravating especially if you only remember the verse "Turn down for what" or "Talk dirty to me" because both of those can sound pretty confusing to anyone within earshot. Well, there is a super simple trick to get that sound out of your head.

A new study found the best way to get a song out of your head is to chew gum so that your mouth moves at a different rhythm than the song in your head. The idea is distract your brain.

There is something truly maddening about getting a song stuck in your head. Psychologists at the University of Reading in England just found that the best way to get a song out of your head is chewing gum. They found that when people chewed gum, the amount of time they "heard" the song running through their head was cut down by 33 percent. They think gum works because your chewing creates "inner speech." Basically, your mouth moves at a different rhythm than the song in your head so it's distracting your brain. The researchers even think the gum technique could work to get other things out of your head like if you're obsessing over something.

I like to mess with people by singing a popular song and getting it stuck in their head then walking off. I know, it's evil.
