I have a cunning theory that it's simple chordless melodies that make the catchiest earworms. Anything relying on an interplay of instruments for its main theme is too complex to snag in the brain and seems to work as a cure. The theme from QI is another good earworm-breaker - it takes far too much concentration to keep it going in your head for it to just go off on its own.
