"Tchaikovsky" from Lady in the Dark.


Suzanne: I never use catalogs. I'd rather go in the store and see all the salespeople groveling and sucking up to you. Julia: Pardon me, I never knew they were so solicitous at the K-Mart.

"The Caper" from 70 Girls 70.

I've seen "Pretty Little Picture" from Forum done really fast.

And the "Don't Be Anything Less..." song from Snoopy.

The version of "Coffee in a Cardboard Cup" that's featured in "AND THE WORLD GOES 'ROUND" starts out in its usual tempo and gets a little bit faster with each verse, but then by the middle of the last verse, it REALLY TEARS UP!!!

The guy's part in the second section of Bernstiein's Chichester Psalms is CRAZY fast.


David walked into the valley With a stone clutched in his hand He was only a boy But he knew someone must take a stand There will always be a valley Always mountains one must scale There will always be perilous waters Which someone must sail -Into the Fire Scarlet Pimpernel

Speaking of coffee -- what's the song about the sultan wanting a proper cup of coffee in a copper coffee pot?

"You Could Drive a Person Crazy" can be done fast.

Calvin, that song was by Trout Fishing in America and it goes like this:

A Sultan sat on his oriental mat, in his harem in downtown Persia,
He took a sip of coffee, just a drip, and he said to his servant Kersia,
"Ah, curse ya, curse ya, curse ya, That's the worst cup of coffee in Persia!"

"Cause...
All I want is a proper cup of coffee, made in a proper copper coffee pot,
I may be off my dot, but I want a proper coffee in a proper copper pot.
Iron coffee pots and tin coffee pots, they are no use to me!
If I can't have a proper cup of coffee in a proper copper coffee pot, I'll have a cup of tea!"

does "Getting Married Today" from Company count? Because it should. It took me so long to be able to get all those words out. But I love it.

One of the fastest songs I've ever heard is "Sam" by the Meat Puppets. The first verse contains 192 syllables (16 bars of eighth-note triplets in 4/4) and lasts all of 20 seconds.

Frank Zappa's "G Spot Tornado" is also pretty damn fast.
