Fever for the Flava
"Fever for the Flava" is a 2003 song by the American alternative 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]

gollark: See, if we gather a big enough sample of them now, then if suddenly they start being delayed by exactly a second we can just adjust™ them with magic.
gollark: We should begin measuring the exact length of all palaiologistic typing events *now* in order to statisticize in case of palaiologistics (e.g. delay) happening to them later.
