Rita Moreno sings "Fever" on episode 105 of The Muppet Show, backed by Floyd on bass and Animal on drums. Animal proves a little too enthusiastic with the drumming, which threatens to throw off her performance. Moreno berates him in Spanish and English, but he refuses to show restraint. At the end of the song, she smashes his head between two cymbals. He is thrilled by this, exclaiming, "That my kind of woman!"
Otis Blackwell wrote "Fever" with Eddie Cooley under the pseudonym, John Davenport.
Miss Piggy performed "Fever" at the Hollywood Bowl in summer 2006.
