no luck finding it on youtube or anywhere else, don't even know who performed it - [hopefully some astute person here will help me out ]
here are the lyrics at least-

CABIN FEVER
it started with 2 feet of snow
and the temperature got to 19 below
at first everybody pitched right in
then guess what? it snowed again

now people that are normal and polite
started turning into zombies overnight

everybody got real mean and surly
talking to themselves and acting squirrely
locked inside their houses and losing their minds
could cannibalism be far behind

doctor i don't feel so hot
tell me what disease i got
cabin fever, cabin fever
[voice of tv weather forecaster] "...and in todays forecast, snow flurries, increasing to heavy snow tomorrow, and continuing forever and ever until the end of time"

it's sunny in miami, nassau and new mexico
but up here with the windchill, it's 85 below
i'm makin' reservations and you ought to come with me
we could get jobs in el paso in a taco factory

don't try to steal my parking space
i'll have to rearrange your face
but someday summer will come again
then i'll smile and be your friend

listen to the music at the pier
or hit the beach and drink a beer
doctor doctor i don't feel so hot
tell me what disease i got

cabin fever, cabin fever
