Cabin Fever is a production number in the Muppet musical adventure, Muppet Treasure Island.
When the wind drops, and the Hispaniola begins to drift, the crew go stir crazy out of boredom. The human pirate twosome, Calico Jerry and Easy Pete, are the first to succumb to cabin fever, and the rest of the crew quickly follow suit. Some of the lead characters, including Fozzie Bear and Gonzo, dress up in Spanish-style costumes, and dance around the ship playing maracas.
Long John Silver, Captain Smollett, Mr. Arrow and Jim Hawkins are not seen during this number, so they may be unaffected by the fever.
An extended version of the song is included on the Muppet Treasure Island soundtrack.
