Radar Love...Golden Earring...202bpm
Cuts Like a Knife....Bryan Adams....200bpm
Ice Cream Man...Van Halen....199bpm
Rock and Roll Hootchie Coo...Rick Derringer...199bpm

These are all in my one hour long cardio playlist and guaranteed to make you rethink fitness.
We should add a little new wave and punk to the mix for extra heart-rate credit:

One More time - Joe Jackson (254 bpm)
Got the time - Joe Jackson (says 124bpm but they're counting it wrong - it's cut time so 248bpm)
Rock Lobster - B-52s (also says 100-something but again, it's cut-time so double beats - well over 200)
Private Idaho - B-52s (somewhat slower, in the upper 100s)

And here's one that's just insane, good luck to those line dancers if they manage to get through it without killing each other:

Hocus Pocus - Focus (don't even bother trying to count)

(this is the above: don't listen to it if you have a pace maker or haven't taken your BP medicine yet today):

Focus - Hocus Pocus - YouTube
