WHO’S THAT GIRL, Madonna – meanspeed=103.9 bpm – mean emotion=comfort – Jim Cramer-CNBC-style Mad Money speed graph and videos
Who’s That Girl
by Maddona Ciccone and Patrick Leonard features a first of its type: a
Jim Cramer MAD MONEY graph. I love the JC’s lightning round especially
where these types of graphs are Jim’s standard, and the orange and
brown block charts are pure tribute the natural energy of Mr. Mad Money
and the simple fact that it’s a helpful way to look at the speed of a
song. How much do I have invested in stock? Zero. Maybe that’s why I
love the show so much! Ah. Speaking of natural—finally, another song at the Meanspeed, or mean-emotion of Natural. What does the sheet music that I purchased at The Colony Music Store at 49th and Broadway? Let’s look, verbatim: “Words

this precision, and what is the direction for speed or as some call
tempo? Answer: “Medium Latin Funk.” How helpful is that? Who’s that
publisher? Actually, vague tempo instructions as this are most common.
Hence, the need for this page. Mean Mean speed=103.9 beats per minute
Meanemotion=Comfort
Mean space=577 milliseconds per beat Meanspace=2310 milliseconds per measure
Mean beat=1.73 beats per second Meanfrequency=1.73 cycles per second Meantone=443.31 Hertz, 13 cents above A4=440.00 Hertz, 87 cents below A#4/Bb4=466.164.
