Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear
You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever! in the morning
Fever all through the night
Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
And you know I'm gonna treat you right
You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever! in the morning
Fever all through the night
Everybody's got the fever
That is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago
Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet, she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said, "Julie, baby, you're my flame
"Thou giveth fever
"When we kisseth
"Fever with thy flaming youth
"Fever! I'm afire
"Fever, yea, I burn, forsooth."
Cap'n Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said, "Daddy, oh, don't you dare!
"He gives me fever
"With his kisses
"Fever when he holds me tight
"Fever! I'm his missus
"Daddy, won't you treat him right?"
Now you've listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made
Chicks were born to give you fever
Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade
They give you fever
When you kiss them
Fever if you live and learn
Fever! till you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear
You give me fever

Moon lights up the night

And you know I'm gonna treat you right

still one of my favourite Muppets guests of all time
Thank you, Bill.
Listening to Peggy is a much more enjoyable way to burn compared to the weather we are having.

The name Peggy Lee reminds me of the early 1960's and The Ed Sullivan Show. Great early performances by so many musical talents. Ahhh, a great time to grow up. There is nothing "new" these days that comes close to "new" back in those days. People my age are so lucky. I just turned 66 a week ago.

The Forsooth song !!

Interesting that it's one of those songs that uses the "truck drivers gear change" (change in key). I wonder how many RP songs do that. It's definitely not a common technique these days.

It sounds like they were using Neuman condenser mics, Not the old RCA ribbon mics. Most record label recording studios were still using ribbon mics in 1960. The RCA ribbon mics were developed by the legendary RCA engineer Harry Olson in the late 30s. Neuman (German) condenser mics were first used and made popular in the USA by legendary jazz recording engineer, Rudy VanGelder in the late 50s. At that time, most record label studios were using broadcast mixing consoles with no equalization (EQ). Rudy developed and built custom consoles with EQ on each channel in the early 60s.
Yep!! Neumann mics and a "plate reverb"!! ...very likelyl!

It is a very clean recording. Recording technology was actually pretty good in 1960, with the main limitation being the number of tracks ( I guess 4). This song has 4 ingredients: voice, drum, bass, snaps. It was an analog recording and this song didn't tax the technology of the day with so few instruments and a limited dynamic and frequency range. This was also before they started using compression and other tweaks. It, of course, sounds like it was very well engineered (mics, etc).

Anya Taylor Joy dancing and lip synching to this song in Episode 6 of "The Queens Gambit" gives me joy.

A bit too fast for my taste. Good moments should be savored ;-)
But still excellent version.

I imagine this recording has been remastered but it's also a very minimal arrangement. It sounds like just upright bass, finger-snaps, and drums with her singing - no strings or horns or other instruments to muddy it up.

couldn't help noticing how the album cover note looks like a scythe
nice pandemic playlist there Bill :p
The original Little Willie John version is what we should be listening to.

Funny...
How nobody sings about the fever that overtook Jerry Lee Lewis, and the affair he had with his 13 year old cousin.
GOODNESS GRACIOUS GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!

This was originally meant to be played by a big band. But when it was to be recorded only the bass player and the drummer showed up at the set.
The rest of the big band was struck by FEVER!

Miss Peggy Lee, you're still the BEST. Madonna's version is pretty dishwater in comparison.

Just rated a 9.
But i would give a ten to the Elvis live version from 1973 (Aloha from Hawaii)

Apparently chicks were born to give you fever.

For some reason, this doesn't sound like 1960.
does it sound like before or after 1960? here's what wiki saysIn May 1958, Peggy Lee recorded a cover version of the song in Hollywood, which featured significantly rewritten lyrics composed by Lee herself without credit. "Fever" was not included on Lee's album Things Are Swingin' when it was first released in 1959; however it was listed as a bonus track on its 2004 reissue release. The uncopyrighted lyrics by Lee featured historical invokings (including the verses beginning "Romeo loved Juliet," and "Captain Smith and Pocahontas") are now generally thought of as a standard part of the song, and have been included in most subsequent covers of "Fever".
Lee's cover, most likely arranged by the singer herself (despite the official credit to conductor Jack Marshall) was a more slow-tempo version than the original; it was described as being in "torchy lounge" mode, accompanied only by bass (played by Joe Mondragon) and a very limited drum set (played in part with fingers by Shelly Manne), while the finger snaps were provided by the singer herself, by Howard Roberts, the guitarist for the date, who set aside his guitar for this number, or possibly even by the producer, Dave Cavanaugh. Lee's rendition was further described as "smooth, sultry". It is written in the key of A Minor in a medium swing tempo with 135 beats per minute; Lee's vocals span from the musical note of G3 to B4.
For some reason, this doesn't sound like 1960.

What's really cool about this song is how stripped down it is. A nice, fairly simple bass line, spartan drum work, clicks and her vocals.

Love "Is That All There Is?" Written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller
" The lyrics of this existentialist song are written from the point of view of a person who is disillusioned with events in life that are supposedly unique experiences. The singer tells of witnessing her family's house on fire when she was a little girl, seeing the circus, and falling in love for the first time. After each recital she expresses her disappointment in the experience. She suggests that we "break out the booze and have a ball — if that's all there is", instead of worrying about life. She explains that she'll never kill herself either because she knows that death will be a disappointment as well."
I find it amazing that the TWO songs she is really known for are CLASSICS!! ANd strange songs....I would like to hear "Is That All There Is?" a VERY strange song indeed....

I have the feeling she would be dismissed out of hand if she tried selling this today, esp. considering the hyper-emoting done by the likes of Beyonce & Co.

My parents absolutely HATED Peggy Lee's singing. I'll never understand why - she's so dead-on and devilish... Thank goodness I can hear her here. I keep seeing that scene from "Mermaids" with Wynona Ryder in her mother's dress, singing along to this song. It was a good movie, but this song is much better. And that reminds me of "Is That All There Is?" I'm still limited in my musical knowledge of Ms. Lee, but I'm hoping to expand...
I never tire of hearing this. 8.
