That's been my solution exactly.  "Girl From Ipanema" works well, in 
addition to Brubeck's "Take Five"/Steely Dan's "Rikki Don't Lose That 
Number".  Also, Ennio Moricone's "The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly" can 
do a great job of wiping out most earworms, and Vince Guaraldi's 
"Charlie Brown Theme" can cause one to dance gleefully around the 
room until the former earworm is stamped out.

Above all else, however, avoid "In A Gadda Da Vida".  You'll replace 
the original earworm with something far worse.  ;)
