Get that tune out of your head

It is one of life's most common irritations: the song you do not even like that becomes stuck in your head.

Take, for instance, Mission-born Carly Rae Jepsen's big hit, Call Me Maybe. It's tuneful, it's catchy - and once it gets in your head it's hard to get out.

Now, scientists claim to have found a way to help anyone plagued by annoying tunes that they simply cannot stop humming to themselves.
