What is your Psyche Song? "TODAY'S THE DAY," by America and the genesis of the meanspeed music conjecture

This song, Todays's The Day by the 1970s group America is the song that first made me see the potential of listening to the right frequencies and rhythms in the morning so as to set one's mind.
In the 1970s, I used to spend summers at camp trying to make myself the next John McEnroe at the Welby Van Horn Tennis camp in Wallingford, Connecticut. On the entirety of the meanspeed music scale, I heard the song as:
As a tennis player, I always practiced much better than I played--I used to over think and tense up--a sure way to send the ball flying out of bounds or into the net.
One morning, I awoke to this song by America, which had been released as a single one summer. Alarm clocks whereby one could awake to music were a new then. Having set the clock to the pop/rock station, the song stayed in my head all day--the easy, enthusiastic rhythm was playing in my head in an a manner that eased me. Instead of over thinking and stressing and losing, I stayed in the relaxed groove of this positive song and it seemed I could not miss a shot if I tried.
It was about 30 years ago--and to this day it is probably--if not the best I have ever played tennis in my life--the day I had the most fun and was so in the "zone" that I do not think I missed all day.
I remember telling myself that day: some day you have to do something with this. And this song is "the frequency" that Michael Stipe sings of in REM's What's The Frequency, Kenneth?--and the speed that is so often used by athletes like Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens and the Dallas Cowboys in general using In The Air Tonight before every game during their championship years in the 1990s.
Of course, coming out of a dream state, the brain is impressionable. My thought remains the same in 2006 as in 1976: if you wake up to the right song for your speed and you have a better chance of staying in your own [personal zone of excellence] today.
Regarding America's TODAY'S THE DAY, the Meanspeed Summary -
mean speed=97.4 beats per minute.
average beat= 616 milliseconds
beat frquency= 1.62 beats per second
corresponding tone= 415.573 Hertz in equal temperament, 1 cent above--nearly the tone and the beat matching, G#4/Ab4=415.305 Hz and 99 cents below A4=440.00 Hertz. For more on tone frequency, sound vibration and their correspondence to beats per minute, see Stephen Jay's The Theory of Harmonic Rhythm, linked with Stephen's kind permission on meanspeed.com.
The graphs are based on a spreadsheet generated with this method:
a) I calibrated groups of every single measure (four quarter-notes) ten times with Seiko 300-lap stopwatches;
b) Ten trials were averaged, coordinated and synthesized.
c) Speed graphs were created in Microsoft's Excel for MacIntosh 2004 on an Apple iBook G4 as hardware. The graphs derived from the results were printed on an Epson CX4600, scanned on same device.
The numerical coordinates are available upon request.
