Below are speed graphs that illustrate the neurological determinism in the speed of music, all calibrated, synthesized and produced by Meanspeed Music.
Our supervising calibrator, James C.C. Manning has released a second of his four way Lust chart comparisons - and judging by your kind response, James has some idea in working with grouped songs.

Grouping the songs into their meanspeed territories, or "meanemotions," can be used to understand meanspeed music theory and let you decided whether you can make good (please stay away from mind control of others) use of it.

We know that for some, precise speeds that give away speeds and graphs that work with tenths of a beat a minute are important and allow for maximum mind control in any situation - yet there are only a select few of you out there who have the intelligence, ear and the patience to learn this theory. We thank you few. Pass the word on. The cost is: Nothing. Potential benefit: immeasurable. A good music programmer with this information can set a tempo anywhere that will yield an awesome controlling power. And I understand: the power is NOT my theory - the power is the territoriality of speed itself. Trying to escape speed and mood in music between 1/2 and 2 1/2 hertz is a losing game. You, as a composer, will give away your real mood in your speed - in these 4 examples, lust.

We realize that most of you spinners out there - the fake bicycle thing, the joggers, the walkers are fine with crude BPM: jogtunes.com, bpmlist.com (quasi-fraudulent in that it masks as an "online bpm database" but is really a bait and switch to buy a BPM list compiled and collected - not calibrated, measured or vouched for and completely calibrated by someone who actually did some work). These results fantastic to pathetic are usually at 5-10% wrong, not measured by the "authors", not vouched for, in short: stolen and mediocre in quality and poor in song choice. Measuring speed precisely is not easy, mistakes are all over the web, and the shortcuts and mistakes get passed on. James C.C. Manning and I stand behind *every* number you will ever see on this page. Try finding that anywhere else. Go ahead!
Live at Luther College is a live album by Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, the first concert by the pair to be released commercially. For many years Luther College was the only released concert by Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, until the release of Live at Radio City.
The song "Yesterday" by Paul McCartney had, as most know, a working title called "Scrambled Eggs" before the lyrics were filled in. As they say listen to the melody, not the lyrics. Which is not to say: ignore the words. It is saying - except for Elton John and a few others, the *music* is written first - the lyric is usually secondary. You never know, no one may ever know, as Michael Stipe of the amazing REM says, "the song is whatever you want you want it to mean," what a song *means*. Try the outstanding yet disingenuous http://www.songmeanings.net or the same on the growing yet banal http://www.songfacts.com. My accusation of false fronts on their sites is the illegal appearance of all the lyrics of the songs. How and why they get away with it is a smarmy matter: they "allow" a "member" to post the lyrics. Thereby, they avoid liability for stealing lyrics, because - Hey, man, someone in the group *posted* the lyrics for *educational* purpose. How can you say that and not laugh? On his latest DVD with Tim Reynold live at Radio City Music Hall, Dave Matthews says about a song, in exasperation about all the talk of what a song "means", Dave says, essentially -it means whatever you want it to mean.
James C.C. Manning and I thought that these four archetype songs at the speed of lust would help you *feel* what we are trying to convey here: if you master a speed the power may be fantastically great. And personally, the thing we feel best about is that there is NOTHING BUT INFORMATION that we work to convey. If our numbers are right or wrong, they are ours. Others have worked also, but cutting and pasting has made individual effort a mostly mediocre reminder that in the past, with pencils and pens and notebooks, we worked harder.
These songs are all in the range. Videos courtesy of YouTube
"#41" - Dave Matthews Band - The mean-speed, or the speed of the song expressed as beats per minute on this live recording= 107.3 beats per minute. The mean-space, or time between each beat= 559 milliseconds per beat, 2.24 seconds per measure. The mean-beaton the recording = 1.788 beats per second. The mean-frequency, or the speed of the song expressed as cycles per second= 1.788 Hertz. The mean-tone=457.81 Hertz, located 68 cents above A4=440.00 and 32 cents below A#4/Bb4= 466.164 Hertz. For more on tone frequency, sound vibration and their correspondence to beats per minute, see Stephen Jay's The Theory of Harmonic Rhythm. The graph is 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.

Only recently did the Bee Gees strike a digital music deal with iTunes. In fact, last week when the deal made the classic songs available on legal download, we decided we were going to lead off Monday with this classic. First, Hunter Newman, under the supervision of James C.C. Manning calibrated each beat in groups of 120 4 beat contiguous groups of 4/4 measures:
Out of the spreadsheet, we formed a scatter graph and a line graph of all 9 trials as seen on the two graphs below:
From synthesizing all that which we calibrated, we can see visually - anyone, musician or not - exactly the movement of speed in the song.
Chaos Theory & meanspeed Music Theory, in action: By using the same numerical calibrations and simply expanding the Y-axis from the 102-105 beats per minute (BPM) above, we can see that the song with a 90-120 BPM Y-axis that the song's tempo from a different point of view.
Using the same numerical calibrations and simply expanding the Y-axis from the 90-120 beats per minute (BPM) above to a 54-128 BPM range, we can see that the song with a 90-120 BPM Y-axis that the song's tempo from a different point of view. Each graph is equally valid.
Now knowing the exact speed of the song, we must still round off the BPM to the whole number enter the speed into iTunes and thicken our ever-growing list of song and their speeds for mood playlists. And truly we ask: are not *all* playlists 'mood' playlists?

Beginnings
The producer of the soundtrack, Robert Stigwood (who also doubled as the Bee Gees' manager) called them up and asked them to write a few songs for a soundtrack to a film he was planning. At this point, the film was in very early stages and it didn't even have a title yet. All Stigwood had to go on was a New York cover story about discomania. He asked them to go on with the soundtrack anyway, and they wrote "Stayin' Alive" over the course of a few days while sprawled on the staircase at the Château d'Hérouville studio in Paris. As with Pink Floyd, a majority of the soundtrack was recorded in France for tax reasons.
Due to the death of drummer Dennis Byron's father in the middle of the song's sessions, the group first looked for a replacement. Oddly enough, the shortage of drummers in this area of France prompted the group to use a drum machine--yet it did not offer satisfactory results. After listening to the drum track of the already-recorded "Night Fever", the group (and engineer Albhy Galuten) selected two bars from the song, re-recorded them to a separate track, and proceeded with sessions for "Stayin' Alive". This accounts for the unchanging rhythm throughout the song.
As a joke, the group listed the drummer as "Bernard Lupe" (a takeoff on session drummer Bernard Purdie). Mr. Lupe became a highly sought-after drummer - until it was discovered that he did not exist.
The song was not originally supposed to be released as a single, but fans called radio stations and RSO Records immediately after seeing trailers for Saturday Night Fever, in which the aforementioned introductory scene was played. The single was eventually released in mid-December, a month after the album, and moved to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States in February, where it would stay for four weeks. Soon after, it would slide to number two, locking in a solid one-two punch with the Bee Gees' other hit from the album, "Night Fever". In the United Kingdom, "Stayin' Alive" was a solid seller but not as popular as it was in the United States, topping out at number four.
Further demonstrating the Bee Gees' U.S. chart domination in 1978, "Stayin' Alive" was replaced at number one with the group's younger brother Andy Gibb's single, "Love Is Thicker Than Water", followed by the Bee Gees' own "Night Fever". This was then replaced by Yvonne Elliman's "If I Can't Have You". Since Barry Gibb had a hand in writing all four of these songs, he became the only person in history to write four consecutive US Number One singles; this feat has not been matched to this day.
Besides the version that appeared on the soundtrack album (and subsequent CD release) and the edited single for the 45RPM and Top 40 radio release, there was yet another version, of the same basic mix, that was distributed to Club DJ's and radio stations that specialized in airing "longer versions" of hit songs. This "Special Disco Version" as it was called, featured all the same parts as the basic album version mix, but had a mysterious "horn rhythm section" part interjected twice in this version, but turned out to be broadcast on very few U.S. radio stations.
As for the message of the song, Robin Gibb was quoted as saying, "Stayin' Alive" is about survival in the big city—any big city—but basically New York."
The music video for the song is of a completely different concept to Saturday Night Fever. It depicts the group performing the song on a movie set next to the one where they were filming "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" at the time. It was a set featuring buildings, a train station, and other features.
The song was prominently featured in the 1980 disaster spoofAirplane! during a memorable flashback scene in which Robert Hayes' and Julie Hagerty's characters are shown meeting at a dive bar and engaging in an extremely exaggerated semblance of popular disco dancing. The music in the movie was however, sped up 10% over its usual speed, with permission. This parody might also have given rise to the misconception that "Stayin' Alive" is the song played during John Travolta's famous dancing scene in Saturday Night Fever.
The Simpsons have made numerous references to the song, using it in scenes as the aforementioned "Table Five" parody Homer sang, during a scene in the episode "Two Bad Neighbors", and in a "Treehouse of Horror" scene. In Bart's Girlfriend, the opening is featured.
On May 8, 2007, American Idol contestant LaKisha Jones sung Stayin' Alive for her first performance of the night. She was later eliminated from the show on the following episode.
