Does anybody have any sure fire, tried, tested and certified way of getting rid of the "infinite loop" effect?


The scientifically suggested way of getting rid of earworms (part of a song stuck in your head) is to sing the song from the beginning to the end, at which point the short term memory loop is usually busted.  In the US, the most common Earworms are popular songs turned into 30 second jingles, as your brain tries to figure out the rest of the words for the song in question.  Another common way of getting one is the morning alarm, where you only hear a small portion of the song before hitting snooze.
