The only way of getting a song out, it's pushing it out with another song

Brain bleach.

Seriously though, I've found it to be a waiting game. Listen to lots of other music in the mean time, and the song that's stuck in your head should unstick.

It's called an 'ear-worm'.

For me, listening to music itself helps after some time.

Or playing a game is most effective.

Better yet, play a game while listening to music.

doesn't work. the only way to get rid of it is by repeated playing the song over a few days to the point it is out of your system.

^^^This is what has always worked for me. Listen to song over and over and that usually does it. Doesn't actually take a few days as Xautos said, maybe an hour give or take.
If you don't know what it is, that could be a problem.
Actually common enough that there' even a wiki page on how to get rid of it:

It depends how catchy it is, if it isn't that catchy it will go away quickly, other times it take a week for it to go away after repeated exposure to the song.
