I *think* the L22 song (Disenchantment) does exactly this
without screwing up "good" song effects. I've been trying to
test it but it's been difficult. I managed to play it once
when I got rooted last night, and it seemed to unroot me. But
I can't be sure if it really unrooted me, or if root just
naturally expired at the same moment.

By the way, root cancels SoW. If your party is running for
the zone and someone gets rooted, you're usually better off
hitting Accelerando to unroot him and give him back some speed
to get to the zone. (For that matter, SoW cancels root.)
