I've been writing songs in the new wave/synthpop style, and I'd like to start working on a fast-paced one. I haven't figured out yet how to arrange it in that way, so I'm looking for songs in this style with a fast tempo to inspire me. Any suggestions?

How fast is fast to you?
A-ha’s Take On Me is probably around 170 bpm
Maniac (Flashdance) has got to be 160-ish bpm.

I am trying to think of 00's and 10's songs and came up with:
Big Black Delta - Huggin & Kissin
The Faint - Glass Dance
Portishead - Chase the Tear
Maybe helpful, maybe not, but throwing them out there.

I did not know Big black Delta... I liked it.
And "Maniac" was a good suggestion, as well. I will use it as my template, at first.
