Double time?
I don't think its a case of playing a 4 minute song fast so that it takes 2
minutes. 

My understanding: The underlying beat doubles but the actual melody on top
stays at the same pace. Imagine the singer keeps singing a ballad while the
drummer plays it as a hoedown.

Does that make sense ? 
Maybe not, maybe I'll keep quite for a while, leave it to Jake.

Gee, I didn't want to get into syncopation, and now double time pops up!
(and what happened to Derik?)

I better go, Bye .....
Mel.
