"Fever for the Flava" is a 2003 song by American rock band Hot Action Cop. It was listed at number six on "The 50 Worst Songs of the 2000s" by The Village Voice.[1] Christopher Weingarten wrote that it was "a soft-R ode to screeching nonsense words that mean genitals."[1] The line 'got the fever for the flava' was taken from a 1980 Pringles ad. The music video was directed by Marc Klasfeld.[2]
Clean version
This song had most of its lyrics replaced by nonsensical babbling and slightly different verses so it could be featured on Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2, due to strong sexual content in the original version in order to keep the game's ESRB E rating in North America and its ELSPA 3+ rating in Europe.
Critical reception
Johnny Loftus of AllMusic described the song as "harmless, high-fiving fun," making note of its "ear-splitting guitars and muscular drum fills".[3]
