Tempo is to music as nudity is to sex, or as the weather is to the news. The mean speed is derived from √1 minute*10^-1 or the square root of three fifths of one second, √3/5" – the Universal Speed of Indecison. What's in it for *you*? If we control our mental speed, we control our mood. Emotion is simply a predictable frequency.
Control of the rhythm of the speed in your mind has limitless benefits. When you *are aware* of the speed loops occurring in your head, getting rid of the earworm (a song stuck in your mind) is an easy matter. If you still can’t get it out, email me at measpeed@gmail.com.

In a positive way, if you want to have a day where you just can’t do anything wrong as a perfect rhythm flows through your mind and body, email me! These are seven scans that illustrate speed and its effect on your entire brain and body.
Last week someone was on Twitter and complained of 10 months of having the song THIS IS HOW WE DO IT running as a tape loop in their head – unwanted nonstop. I tried finding that person after getting the song stuck in *my* head (on purpose) to test whether I could remove it by matching a song of a speed with one percent of the speed of the song. I did an analysis:
Corresponding frequency tonality=629.55 Hertz, where D#5/Eb5=622.25 Hz, E5=659.26 Hz

I’m kinda buzz its all because THIS IS HOW WE DO IT !
As we see it is a song that is catchy for most, *too* catchy for others.
The METHOD to remove this earworm would be to find another song at a speed within 1% of the original and literally play the offending song while yelling the lyrics of one or more of these songs with it. If this problem happens to you – 1) I heard about an app called “unhearit” which through some algorithm employs the same method. Whether they use exact tempo or not I have no idea am not affiliated with the company.
Songs within 1% of the tempo of THIS IS HOW WE DO IT:
“De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da,” The Police
“Born To Run,” Bruce Springsteen
“Say A Little Prayer For You,” Dione Warwick
“Abraham, Martin & John,” Dion”
“I Can’t Get No Satisfaction,” Otis Redding (Stax Records)
“Twenty-Five Or 6 To 4,” Chicago.
