Funny, I've been singing that all day too. I've also been using "wot" a lot.

I recommend singing and/or listening to "Hampsterdance," or possibly "It's a Small World." :p

Or that jungle song with the lyon. I can't remember any of those and, besides, I don't think they'd be better.

Hampsterdance! (http://www.hampsterdance.com/)

And no, they're not better at all. But they might give you a break from the bananaphone. :p

Sing the Gilligan's Island theme song in your head -- it actually works.

Also, knowledge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earworm) is the best weapon in these cases...

Whatever. I knwo how to beat this.

We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine

Say, we can go where we want to, a place that they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind

And we can dance

We can go when we want to, the night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
And surprise them with the victory cry

Say, we can act if we want to, if we don't nobody will
And you can act real rude or totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile

Safety Dance
Say we can dance, we can dance
Everything's out of control
We can dance, we can dance
They're doing it from pole to pole
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody taken the chance

The safety dance
The safety dance
The safety dance

We can dance if we want to, we've got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it we are never going to lose it
And everything will work out right

Say, we can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
well they're no friend of mine

The best cure for the banana phone song is to follow Ashmoria's and my lead: never, ever listen to the song or click on any links that might lead to it.
You could also take it a step further, like I have, and whenever someone mentions that song around you, punch them in the face.

If you've already let the Greek Horse into your city, there is very little you can raise in defense. Try beating your head against a wall until your vision goes red and you pass out, if you're lucky you'll destroy those brain-cells that contain that particular memory and can then follow my first piece of advice.

I think you should try this song... its much less irritating than the banana phone song, just as catchy and it has cute little kittens:

That's badass, but I can't hear teh lyrics and for a song to get stuck in my head I need to hear the lyrics.

It sounds counterintuitive, but the best way I know of to get a tune out of my head is to play the offending song (from a CD, not on your own instrument. And it has to be the version that's stuck, too.). Then wait a bit and play something else.

It doesn't work immediately, but it seems to cut down on the repetition a lot compared to when I can't play it. I read about that trick on a forum somewhere ages ago, and I was quite surprised when it actually helped!

Oh boy, you have just broken the seals to the door of my early childhood! I have a musical box that plays exactly that song!!! (http://www.hamienet.com/midi-1513.mp3) somewhere on the attic at home... Ah, fond memories ;) Thanks.

Oh, thanks again! I sure did :p

The title sounded very familiar, but only upon reading the lyrics I realized the musical box had them on the backside (being Fisherprice and all) and after hearing it... Mmmmh. ;) All is good.

Only way to get an annoying song out of your head is to replace it. May I suggest "Yellow Submarine"? :)
