Well, there are others. I saw Carmina Burana on this thread (other than O Fortuna, there is another movement that's dangerous) and the William Tell Overture, but there are few others like The Battle on the Ice from Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky and the overture to the Marriage of Figaro (Mozart) that could be just as dangerous. Even the last movement of Beethoven's Ninth when it gets rolling, can be pretty fast. Oh, and a good chunck of Carmen, specifically the scene in the bar from the second act.

Holst's Planets - esp. "Mars" - Overture to the Magic Flute - once it gets past the Adagio section . . .

We were coming home from our riding lesson last night with all the windows down (horses are nice but smelly) and the Queen of the Night's aria Der holle Rache cranked up full blast and my kids singing along (I can't hit even one high F to save my life - my 15 year old daughter does though, my 13 year old son used to but his voice is changing and he only hits 'em occasionally now . . . :-D ) It was certainly . . . invigorating.
