There's no reason why it should be -- both take some work on the figures, & like a lot of Christine's songs, require some stamina to keep the figures rolling steadily.

Ah yes, there's no doubt that there's a lot of bouncy left-hand in Don't Stop... definitely not for the faint of heart, let alone the limp-wristed.
Also a lot of syncopating 'n stuff. I suppose this sort of thing would drive a classically trained musician up a wall, but when you're playing by ear (like me), I don't hesitate to pound the tar out of the keys.
