Okay, everyone else who has commented are idiots.

This song isn't about a literal fever. It's about arousal. Fever means a sexual fervor. Basically, it's saying how this man instills within the narrator sexual desire, or in lamen's terms, it's saying how this guy is making the singer horny.

Even though John Smith and Pocahontas weren't sexually or even romantically involved and Romeo was in idiotic child going from girl to girl, and Juliet was naive, they're used as examples of sexual arousal between partners.

That's it. That is literally the meaning behind the song. It's just about being horny. It has nothing to do with illness or sickness or wars or any other crap everyone else before me has said. It's just about being horny.
