When I think of "Fever" I think of the version by Peggy Lee from 1958.
It was her signature song. While she was not the first, and while many
others have recorded it over the years, that version has sort of
become The Classic Version here in the USA. There was a re-release in
2003 on a "Best Of Peggy Lee Singles Collection", so it's not
unreasonable that it might have gotten some airplay "5 or 6 years
ago".
Let's see now - the Madonna version from 1993 was released as a single
in Europe but not in the USA. It reached #22 on the Belgian Charts,
so it might have had a resurgeance back then (though of course that's
not a multi-part name).
The wikipedia article only gives a "selected list" of cover versions
without giving dates - but as an external link it also references the
following as a comprehensive list of covers and that list IS sorted
(by year, then alphabetically). Perhaps one of the versions from the
2003-2004 years will sound familiar to you. There's over 60 just from
those 2 years.

And of course, there are quite a few versions available on YouTube.
Hope this leads you to the right version.
