Got Britney on the brain? Banish the bad music that's trapped in your melon

Men's Fitness, Nov, 2003

Just ask any POW: Music (especially the crap) pumped into your brain and set on mental repeat is the cruelest form of torture out there. Whether you're spending time in the Hanoi Hilton or taking a spin on the "It's a Small World" ride at Disney, 98% of Americans become plagued by the ditties that get stuck in their heads.

Fortunately, University of Cincinnati psychologist James Kellaris, Ph.D., has a cure: Sing the song out loud. It helps scratch the "cognitive itch" that lodged it in your nugget. Unfortunately, your fear of giant right-wing mice is somebody else's problem to solve.
