【经典爵士】Peggy Lee - Fever
这首歌初听起来清新俏皮，回味却隐有辛酸。
其中提到了罗密欧和朱丽叶，Smith船长和印第安公主Pocahontas。前者是莎翁笔下最缠绵悱恻的爱情挽歌；而后者是美国家喻户晓的历史传奇，最动人的誓言莫过这句：I’d rather die tomorrow than live a hundred years without knowing you. 我宁愿与你相识也不愿独活百年。
佩吉·李（Peggy Lee）是20世纪40年代班尼·古德曼大乐队旗下的当红女星。她的歌声盛满了迷人缱绻的百变风情，俨然已成为美国爵士及流行乐坛最具代表性的女声之一。《Fever》是一首非常在爵士届流传很广的歌曲，Ella Fitzgerald, PeggyLee, Michael Buble，Beyonce等诸多歌手都曾演唱。
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 mornin', a fever all through the night
Sun lights up the day time
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 mornin'
A fever all through the night
Everybody's got the fever
That is somethin' 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 givest fever, when we kisseth
Fever with thy flaming youth
Fever I'm on fire
Fever yeah 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
And 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 we kiss them
Fever if you live and learn
Fever till you sizzle
Oh what a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
And what a lovely way to burn
