I love a fast sung song for some reason... I also feel the need to learn the lyrics and sing along. I think of it as the musical equivalent of loving spinny things, which I do also. What fast sung songs do you know of? Here's my list:

Letterbox - They Might Be Giants
It's the End of the World as We Know It - R.E.M.
Everything You Know Is Wrong - Weird Al
The Patter Trio - Gilbert and Sullivan

I enjoy them too. Some of my favorites growing up included Crossroads by Bone Thugs and Walkin on the Sun by Smashmouth and One Week by Barenaked Ladies.

I sometimes listen to the REM song listed. I like faster paced music in general.

I like Tom Lehrer's "The Elements".

well i like the REM song you mentioned.
Im not a fan but i like them and i remember seeing their Unplugged performance about 10 years ago. I'd rate it as the best thing ive seen of theirs, very impressive.
I dont buy these things, but now you've mentioned it, i may try to obtain REM Unplugged, because it's a long time since i seen it.

Obviously it reminds me of bob's subteranian homesick blues.
