Steven,
Neil Innes has done that to my addled brain many a time, most notably
with "How Sweet to be an Idiot" (I always dedicate that to my boss),
"Randy Raquel," "I'm the Urban Spaceman," and "When Does a Dream
Begin."
(By the way, which album would you recommend to someone just
introduced to the Rutles?)
The only way to get rid of an earworm, I've found, is to sing it as
loudly as you can. This will not only get rid of it but also transfer
it to your co-workers. It will also provide much amusement if the
earworm happens to be "Randy Raquel."
If that doesn't work, there is one drastic method which never fails,
but I don't recommend it. I will leave it to you as a post-script as a
last resort, but be warned: it's dangerous!
Regards,
Farrar Hudkins
P.S.: It's a small world after all.
