The song was written by Otis Blackwell and Eddie Cooley, and it was originally recorded by Peggy Lee in 1956. However, it was Elvis Presley’s version that became the most popular, and it is now considered to be one of his signature songs.
The song begins with a slow, sultry intro, and then Elvis’s vocals come in, smooth and confident. He sings about how his lover’s kiss gives him a fever, and how he can’t get enough of her.
The song’s lyrics are full of sexual imagery, and Presley’s delivery is both playful and suggestive. He sings about how he wants to “burn” in his lover’s arms, and how he’s “delirious” with love.
Fever is a song that is sure to get your heart racing. It is a song about the power of love and desire, and it is a song that is sure to stay with you long after you’ve heard it.
Here is the chorus of the song:
You give me fever when you kiss me Fever when you hold me tight Fever in the morning Fever all through the night Sunlight stops the daytime Moon don’t shine at night I light up when you call my name You give me fever
Fever is a song that has been covered by many artists over the years, but Elvis Presley’s version is still the definitive one. It is a song that is both timeless and irresistible.
