There’s always “The Hokey Pokey”.

Ya put yer right foot in  
Ya put yer right foot out  
The fool that first taught that song  
Needs a redhotpokerjammeduphiswhatnot  
And shake it all about…

Although it’s not half as bad as _Mandy_.

Here’s something you can do. Start singing Old Mcdonald but switch to Bingo. You’ll never be able to sing Old Mcdonal right again.

\*Old Mcdonald had a farm  
and Bingo was his name Oh. . .

At work, we torment each other by “planting” such songs in each other’s heads. . . these can help remove an “implanted” song, but only by directly replacing it:

“Flintstones, meet the Flintstones, they’re the modern Stone-Age fa–mill–lee. . .”

“Hello world, here’s a song that we’re singing, c’mon, get happy!”

“Relax, don’t do it, when you wanna sock it to it, relax, don’t do it, when you wanna come?”

“Vacation, all I ever wanted, vacation, had to get away. . .”

"A horse is a horse, of course, of course, and no one can talk to a horse, of course. . . "

And, worst of all:

“Would I lie to you? Would I lie to you, honey? Now, would I say something that wasn’t true?. . .”

I had to hear it at work tonight, so here you go…

_Because you’re every woman in the world, to me…_

or,

_Particle man, particle man, doing the things a particle can…_

or,

_Take a letter, Maria (bababa ba ba)  
Address it to my wife (ba ba ba ba)_  
That works best if you imagine it with the cheesy 70s trumpet with it, tho.

Imagine this in a piano piece/Muzak on repeat so you can hear it all day long, day in and day out…

"Why do birds  
suddenly appear…  
Every time  
You are near?

Just like me  
they long to be…  
Close to You"

WAhhhhhhhhhhh laaaaallaaallaaallaaaahhh  
Close to youuuuu…"
