The song - Fever

[iloveelvis05]

Hey...I was just wondering...what does everyone think of the song "Fever"?? I don't know about ya'll but I absolutely LOVE it!!! It's one of my favorite songs now. I just bought the Aloha from Hawaii DVD about a month ago and he performs that song on it. That was the first time for me to hear it. It was great!!! The way he shook his body and stomped his leg on parts of the song was so seductive! Hehe, I giggled the entire time with excitement!

"Fever" is from this album...


And of course, also from this album...

Hi there,

Yes, Elvis' version of the classic 'Fever' is a musical masterpiece in itself. I too first heard The King's live version via the 'Aloha' show but this was on a tape recording I had received just after Elvis died. Soon after I got hold of a copy of the UK Double album 'Elvis' 40 Greatest' and became an immediate fan of his studio version from 1960. Then, later on, I bought the original LP that it was taken from - 'Elvis Is Back!'

Have you purchased the new upgraded CD of 'E.I.B.' from the Follow That Dream Label? There's some great out-takes of the song on this one!

Cheers,

NEA.

"Fever" is a good companion to "Such a Night", also from the same album! I love how both songs "sizzle"!!

Fever was on my first Elvis CD, Pure Gold. The songs on that CD have remained sentimental favorites of mine.

I strongly recommend you hunt down a CD or mp3 of one of Elvis' many performances of Fever from 1974 in which he does the following:

"...I light up when you call my name--ELLLLLVISSSSS!"--mocking a female fan's scream. It never ceases to crack me up.

Love the song espacially the version on the Essential Elvis cd no. 6

I only know the 60's studio and Aloha version of this song. I prefer the Aloha version, there's just so much more enthusiasm (wich I think this song really needs) in it. On cd it allready sounds great but if you have the video-footage from the dvd with it, how he "plays' with the audience: just fantastic!

Oh my gosh!!! I feel the same way! I LOVE the Aloha version of "Fever"!!! It's great! I love the way he'll shimmy or pump his body or stomp his legs on those specific beats of the song. When I saw the Aloha version for the 1st time, I giggled through the entire song...I was so excited and turned-on at the same time! Hehe!

... Aloha from Hawaii... he performs that song on it. The way he shook his body and stomped his leg on parts of the song was so seductive! Hehe, I giggled the entire time at excitement!

I agree with you. The Aloha From Hawaii version is great, so sexy! The 60s version has a special charm too: Elvis' voice make the lyrics sound so much better, that's really good.

I know, and also like, the Peggy Lee's version of this song ("Fever"), don't remember the date of this one, but maybe you like it if you listen to it... By the way, please if you find information about it, let me know. The next link could be interesting for you:
