In musicians' terms, tempo means speed, as in how fast a song is played. It can be measured in beats per minute (bpm). For all you non-musicians out there, suppose you were headbanging to your favorite song off of Metalica's S/M album, the tempo of the song describes how fast you need to move your head to keep up with the beat of the music.
