"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."

Melroy is right - double time just means twice the beat but same length of 
song. Like sixteen beats instead of eight.
