In theory, any song with a steady rhythm to it's words, or drum beat, would
do for cadence.

Depending on whether you're paddling for fun or for competition, you may be
able to or want to take a player with you for music. Of course, never have
music up so loud that you can't hear cries for help, or someone's heave-to
warnings.

For that reason, lyrical cadence is much better.
