I heard this on a radio morning show, the dj also said Queen's Another One Bites The Dust was a close second and was quickly discarded and was thought not to be appropriate...

and if you think about it, Khia's "My Neck, My Back" is actually closer to the 100bpm that they're looking for. and i don't know about you but i've known that to bring a few women back to life...

Well, and this is purely speculation, I imagine they wanted a song that is known to a great number of people....

This has always been a cornerstone of the programming I teach newbie Djs I work with, that the best beat ranges for the prime hours of the night are 97-105 and 128-132. The former closely matching the average heart rate of humans and the letter matching a brainwave that helps trigger the same "pleasure" center of the brain as cocaine and chocolate do.
Probably not a coinsidence that the songs with the best dance response and the "anthems" that last as timeless seem to be grouped in or near these bpm ranges.
There have also been many studies showing bpm ranges of 70-80 showing strong corolations to the "anger" centers of our brain and the slowing of heart rates producing aggrevated levels of tension.
Probably not a coinsidence that most rap and hard rock songs get so much blame for causing fights and inciting the "wrong" behavior....it probably is not the lyrics the censorists would have you believe, but rather it is the pysiological changes produced in peoples brain and heart chemistry that insights the feelings of tension and rage.

DJ e-lect-ric,
Can you please tell me more about this theory? It makes sense to me and I would like to read more about it.
Thanks,

I don't remember exactly what the studies were but there was a series of studies in the late 70's and early 80's which suggested the human body has an "internal clock" with a rhythmic cycle centered at about 100bpm. With advances in EEG and other brainwave scanning technologies I am sure more definitive studies have been made, but the anacdotal evidence over my 25 Djing years has held this to be somewhat credible.
The studies were done with "all else being equal" (i.e comparing a 70 bpm hard rock to a 128 bpm hard rock etc.)...and at the time they were done on Disco & Rock music predominently as Hip Hop did not exist yet. Keep in mind the brain is effected by much more than just the bpm, obviously a 70 bpm classical song is going to produce a different brainwave state than a 70 bpm hip hop song as the "strength" of the desernable beat and rhythm and the harmonics of the music itself play a large role also, hence the comparison on "like" music.
here is one citings for the theory of what is a happening without the detail data:
"Dr. Thomas Budzynski, an affiliate professor of psychology at the University of Washington, conducted experiments with a small group of underachieving college students at Western Washington University. He found that rhythmic light and sound therapy helped students achieve a significant improvement in their grades.
Devices called electroencephalographs (EEGs) measure the electrical impulses in the brain. They resolve the dominant frequencies of brainwave activity that are associated with conscious states including concentration, anxiety and sleep. Researchers recorded significant and lasting changes in brain wave activity among subjects who received music therapy. Music with a strong beat can stimulate brainwaves to resonate in sync with the beat, with faster beats bringing sharper concentration and more alert thinking"

Excellent - thanks for the additional info. I'm gonna do further research on this as my own anedoctal evidence over the years suggests that songs in the 98-108 and 118-128 bpm range produces a pleasant vibe in the lounge or club all nite long.
When I DJ, I approach it as a roller coaster ride. To me, half the fun of the roller coaster is going up. the other half is coming down, so I usually alternate my songs in the lower bpm range, then gradually bring up the tempo and bpms, then I bring it down so folks can 'exhale' before I start the ride agaiin...
