As with many double acts, Lee and Herring performed as contrasting personalities: one intellectual and rational (Lee) and the other daft and charming (Herring). As with several other double acts, Lee and Herring had a certain irony to their style and constantly checked themselves and made reference to this. The characters of Lee and Herring were parodies and exaggerations of their real world selves.

Line by Line Meaning
Never know how much I love you
I never truly understand the extent of my love for you
Never know how much I care
I never truly realize the depth of my care for you
When you put your arms around me
When you hold me tightly in your embrace
I get a fever that's so hard to bear
I feel an intense sensation of heat that is almost unbearable
You give me fever, when you kiss me
Your kisses excite me and cause me to feel feverish
Fever when you hold me tight
I feel a feverish sensation when you embrace me tightly
Fever in the mornin'
I wake up feverish in the morning
Fever all through the night
I feel feverish all night long
Sun lights up the day time
The sun illuminates the daytime
Moon lights up the night
The moon illuminates the nighttime
I light up when you call my name
I feel elated when you say my name
And you know I'm gonna treat me right
You know I will treat myself well
Everybody's got the fever
Everyone experiences feverish sensations
That is somethin' you all know
This is something that everyone is aware of
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever is not a recent discovery
Fever started long time ago
Fever has existed for a very long time
Romeo loved Juliet
Romeo had feelings of love for Juliet
Juliet she felt the same
Juliet had mutual feelings of love for Romeo
When he put his arms around her
When Romeo embraced Juliet
He said, 'Julie baby you're my flame'
He expressed his love for her by calling her his flame
Thou givest fever when we kisseth
You give me a feverish sensation when we kiss
Fever with thy flaming youth
The feverish sensation is caused by Juliet's youthful passion
Fever I'm on fire
I feel like I am burning up with fever
Fever yea I burn forsooth
I am burning up with fever indeed
Captain Smith and Pocahontas
Captain Smith and Pocahontas had a romantic relationship
Had a very mad affair
They had a passionate love affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
When Pocahontas' father attempted to kill Captain Smith
She said 'Daddy, oh don't you dare'
She pleaded with her father not to harm Captain Smith
'He gives me fever, with his kisses'
Captain Smith's kisses excite Pocahontas and make her feel feverish
'Fever when he holds me tight'
She feels feverish when Captain Smith holds her tightly
'Fever, I'm his missus'
Pocahontas considers herself to be Captain Smith's wife
'Daddy won't you treat him right?'
She asks her father to treat Captain Smith with kindness and respect
Now you've listened to my story
I have told you my tale
Here's the point that I have made
This is the conclusion that I have reached
Chicks were born to give you fever
Women were created to elicit feverish sensations in men
Be it Fahrenheit or centigrade
Whether measured in Fahrenheit or centigrade (Celsius)
They give you fever
Women have the ability to cause feverish sensations
When you kiss them, fever if you really learn
If you truly learn how to kiss them, you will feel feverish
Fever till you sizzle
The feverish sensation will continue until you sizzle with heat
What a lovely way to burn
What a wonderful sensation to experience
What a lovely way to burn
What a wonderful sensation to experience
What a lovely way to burn
What a wonderful sensation to experience
What a lovely way to burn
What a wonderful sensation to experience

Its really satisfying to see Stuart Lee do material like this. Don't get me wrong, I like the self aware societal critique, but I also like silly as well.

Thank you, thank you, i was annoyed to miss tedstock, but imagine my delight to find out that not only did someone video it, but that there was a lee and herring reunion. Brilliant!
Mutleytv
Pure genius. As funny as ever.
Sarah Foster
Anyone else find it really satisfying watching Stewart laugh at Richard?
Sarah Foster
Love them! Glad they’re still friends
Rick B.
I’d pay so much to see them together.
Tommy Triangle
I love Lee and Herring.
Mark Wright
There's some incredible magic here - that indefinable "X-factor" (sorry to use that expression now that it's been devalued beyond meaning) was so often evident even when they weren't trying. What a shame only us members of a secret fan club can appreciate it.
Feckless Fool
So much <3. They should get back on the double act but not go back to their old characters.
LateNight JazzBartok
If anything, they now have the characters of one man who grew up too much, and one man who didn't grow up enough, that would be entertaining in itself.
