So are:
"Doraville", Atalnta Rhythm Section
"E-Pro", "Girl" & "Timebomb", Beck
"Crazy Bitch", "Everything" & "Porno Star", Buck Cherry
"Rockin Rock Radar", D.A.D.
"Lose Yourself", Eminem
"Thanks for the Memories", Fall Out Boy
"Everlong" & "Thanks for the Memories", Foo Fighters
"Animals" & "Rock Star", Nickleback
"Gotta Have You", Weepies

so many more.

Running SS for distance requires a certain BPM and lyrics I can mouth breathe!

HIIT, well, that's a different BPM altogether.

You know how you can add a "ratings" column in your iTunes library? I use the stars there to rate my songs according to workout.

1's are for cooldown, mellow, thoughtful
2's are resistance, steady, pumping beat - sometimes ANGRY.
3's are incline or walking pace (125 - 135 bpm)
4's are SS cardio (140 - 160 BPM for me)
5's are HIIT ('road-runner legs' BPM)

I'll alternate 5's with 3's on my HIIT playlists, so I can just advance when the interval is done.
