Speed Charts like these can be done for any song. I personally like walking around in my Meanspeed "Louisiana Bayou" (live) by the Dave Matthews Band t-shirt. Do not hesitate to suggest a song!

Song #16 on the Rolling Stone 500 Greatest List is I Want to Hold Your Hand by The Beatles--George Harrison, John Lennon, Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.

We measured the speed of I Want to Hold Your Hand--using the identical method described in the section of the same name at http://meanspeed.com.

The results--
number of beats=284
mean time=2 minutes, 9.5 seconds
meanspeed=131.6 beats per minute
meanspace=0.456 seconds per beat
