Songs that are slightly faster than walking speed

Gary Numan's "Metal" came on my iPod randomly today while I was walking to the subway. It's one of my favorites, so I kind of naturally started walking along to it. Unfortunately, it is about 10 bpm faster than a normal walking speed, so I looked like an asshole.

What other songs are just barely faster than walking speed? I'd like to make an "Walking Asshole" mix.

This is interesting, what is a "normal walking speed"??

I usually walk to work listening to mixes which go somehwere aeound 130bpm, so to me that is a normal walking speed.

According to the internet, Sigue Sigue Sputnik Love Missile F1-11 is 139 bpm!

They walk around so much in the "Man on the Moon" video, but it's just a little too fast for a leisurely pace. I've tried.

I think my walking speed is around 120bpm.

Lemme check...

Whoa, no no. I was way off. That's too fast. More like 100-105bpm, probably. Maybe I'm more lethargic than most.

"Stayin' Alive" may be about the speed of normal walking, but something in its funk makes you have to strut, swagger, or lope, all of which I think work for a "Walkin' Asshole" mix.

Therefore it is slightly faster than walking speed!!!

I kind of prefer not to have a song be exactly at walking speed. Whenever they're totally synched up I feel like the R. Crumb "Keep on Truckin" guy.

Z S, this is a perfectly reasonable thread! I completely forgot about it but clearly I posted to it.

This is a bad thing??
