Fever - Little Willy John (1956)

[TropikoL]

Pour la longue liste des interpretes (ça va de Nougaro a Shakira...), je vous laisse consulter wikipedia (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fever)

Lyrics :


You never know how much I love ya
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a feelin' that's so hard to bear
You give me fever

When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever (fever, burn through) in the mornin'
An' fever all through the night

Listen to me, baby
Hear ev'ry word I say
No one could love you the way I do
'Cause they don't know how to love you my way
You give me fever

When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever (fever, burn through) in the mornin'
An' fever all through the night

Bless my soul, I love you
Take this heart away
Take these arms I'll never use
An' just believe in what my lips have to say
You give me fever

When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever (fever, burn through) in the mornin'
Fever all through the night

Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
My eyes light up when you call my name
'Cause I know you're gonna treat me right
You give me fever

When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever (fever, burn through) in the mornin'
An' fever all through the night

Les lyrics de la reprise de Peggy Lee étaient un peu différents :

Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said, "Julie baby you're my flame"
Thou givest fever when we kisseth
Fever with thy flaming youth
Fever I'm on fire
Fever yea I burn forsooth

Captain 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
Cats were born to give chicks fever
Be it Fahrenheit or centigrade
We give you fever when we kiss you
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, ah
What a lovely way to burn

Yes !!! Bien vue celle-là Tropi

[TropikoL]

Le batteur de cette video de Peggy Lee en effet

Sinon le riddim de Perry pas sur mais pour moi ceserait plutot le "hot and cold", y a aussi un Jah Lion dont je trouve pas d'extrait, et un Jah T avec augustus:

J'adore la version de Junior Byles , elle est tellement mieux que les autres .J'adore l'original et connais pas la version reggae. C'est plutot pas mal . Dans ce genre de reprise , y'en a une super de The pioneers qui reprenent papa was a rolling stone , des Temptations !

[TropikoL]

pour moi la Peggy Lee version avec son KILLER batteur reste le must du must!!!

edit: tant que j'y suis, ce titre était sorti dans une pseudo liste des titres censurés en JA pour ses propos jugés choquants (http://forum.reggaefrance.com/post609293.html#p609293" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

ça laisse rêveur quand on voit les lyrics contemporains ...
