Wikipedia article"'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'. Christopher Weingarten wrote that it was "a soft-R ode to screeching nonsense words that mean genitals." The line 'got the fever for the flava' was taken from a 1980 Pringles ad. The music video was directed by Marc Klasfeld. Clean versionThis 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 receptionJohnny Loftus of AllMusic described the song as "harmless, high-fiving fun," making note of its "ear-splitting guitars and muscular drum fills".
