Fever
Thunderpussy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got a fever, yeah, a fever of a hundred degrees
I've got a sickness, deadly hot sweating desease
I called a doctor, said he can't do nothin' for me
Doctor come over, slip into my fever dreams

Sweat rag, hot chills
Sweat rag, hot chills
Sweat rag, hot chills
Sweat rag, hot...

I need a rag
Drip, drip, drip, drip, dripping all over my head
Covered in sweat now
I'm sinking deep in my bed

Sweat rag, hot chills
Sweat rag, hot chills
Sweat rag, hot chills
Sweat rag, hot...



Fever... I've got sickness
Called the doc-, doc-, doc-, doc-, doc-, doc-, doc-, doctor
Said he can't do no, no, nothin' for me
I've got chills, runnin' from them, now, now
Runnin'

Sweat rag, hot chills
Sweat rag, hot chills
Sweat rag, hot chills
Sweat rag, hot chills
Sweat rag, hot chills
Sweat rag, hot chills
Sweat rag, hot chills




Sweat rag, hot chills
Sweat rag, hot...

Beautiful music, a beautiful song, and a very beautiful band. Thank-you U-Tube for an extremely beautiful up-load. Life is a VERY beautiful thing. Beautiful.

@rayweaver5603

Such tremendous musicians. Every one of these women is a talented artist. I think anyone who appreciates these ladies would also enjoy The Warning

@darrellmortensen9805

They could dress up like nuns from the 1960's and still be very good. Truthfully music 🎶 is rather sexual. The lyrics pretty decent. Good musicians if I say so myself. ❤

@danielcallahan5404

Burlesque and rock n roll! This is a beautiful thing

@danielpiotrowicz4008

It's a show you just need to see once in your life-time.

@jodyguilbeaux8225

dam, im glad she is so shy and timid. no really she does have a good rock and roll voice. the song has one verse through the whole song,...........weird.

@jodyguilbeaux8225

i dont know why i keep looking at the video with her head to the floor and ass in the clouds. there is something very mysterious about that....................... the music is kick ass.

@obwhankanobee1923

Indeed, somewhere in there.........its a Lucrative Vegas act if they could class it up a bit and develop the messaging a little......I wish them luck, however, bodies change quickly....for all of us so they need to hurry up and cash in while the dollars, and their young blood, continues to flow.....

@jemogan

I'm all for looking at pretty girls while rocking out. But don't let us be distracted from the fact that this is some extremely well done rock, with moody torch song vocals, lots of delectable dynamics, a pounding bass and very tasteful guitar playing. Hats off, ladies. This is some great rock and roll.

@decimated550

it's easy to find plenty of chicks dress in provacative overtly sexual outfits and sing seductive songs. there is actually a surplus of this, it's become cheapened! but, but...how many of them write their own songs and play instruments?? So few, so these girls are to be respected. others are just trained performers doing what other people wrote. not true artists.
