Nah the fastest is easily "All Together Now" near the end of the
tune..

You're kidding, right?

Yeah, a lot of them looked awfully fast to me.
I didn't see Helter Skelter on your list. I'm betting it's near the
top, if not at the top.
Haven't seen, "Back in the USSR", mentioned.
Pettty damn fast.
I don't believe that it's really that fast, though. I can hear it in my
head, and it doesn't seem to be faster than She Loves You, for example.
better explain what is a fast song. also i don't think that everybody
knows what bpm is, if you want to use the bpm value to measure the
speed of a song.
On metronome marking, I'd guess "I've Just Seen a Face" is the fastest
song...off the top of my head.
The Arranger
There's some ambiguity in that one. Depends how you define a "beat".
Strangemonde's link gave 120.87 bpm, I just clocked the first verse at
about 130, but that assumes that roughly every other syllable is a beat
(roughly):
I'VE just SEEN a FACE I CAN'T forGET the TIME or PLACE etc.
However, I'd say intuitively the "correct" quarter note is half that
value, i.e., each syllable would be a beat. In that case, my clocking
translates to 260 bpm!
I think we have a winner.
I think the person who suggested the end of All Together Now has us
all beat.
But in any case, I tried to "correct" the songs in the list (or most
of them, anyway) according to the way my gut hears the songs:

These are all open to argument, of course...

My computer is constantly trying to shut down. It makes no sense
that this gadget dislikes me personally. I'm looking for a
relationship that works. Please advise me. LMAO.

I'm wondering how fast "Rock'n'Roll Music" would clock in at?
"Long Tall Sally" shifts a bit too.
Ringo's drum solo in Birthday suggests a pretty quick underlying beat
too.
> I'm wondering how fast "Rock'n'Roll Music" would clock in at?
According to my trusty metronome, it's about 170. Pretty fast!
> "Long Tall Sally" shifts a bit too.
It's about 174. A little faster even!
> Ringo's drum solo in Birthday suggests a pretty quick underlying

It's about 140. Lost in the dust.
I just found a pretty nice little on-line metronone:
<http://www.seventhstring.com/metronome/metronome.html>
I like it because it's got a tap-tempo feature. It's a little java
application, and you can download it and run it off-line, too.
I really have nothing to say about that, except they try to play it
too darn fast! It spoils the beauty of the melody until it sounds just
like a symphony!
