"Fever to Tell," out on this date in 2003 (Happy 19th birthday!), was the debut album from Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
--
"The album’s engaging mixture of spiky riffs, sweaty rhythms and unhinged energy ultimately added up to what remains the most commercially successful release of the band’s career; though it didn’t climb any higher than Number 55 on the Billboard 200, 'Fever to Tell' ultimately sold more than 500,000 copies in the U.S. alone, and more than a million copies worldwide.": https://www.rollingstone.com/feature/yeah-yeah-yeahs-fever-to-tell-10-things-you-didnt-know-630652/

"Y Control" is a single by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, from their debut album Fever to Tell. The name of the song refers to the emotional control of a female, referring to the male Y chromosome, and can also be read as a reference to Prince's 1995 song "Pussy Control," which is frequently abbreviated as "P Control." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y_Control

Though often compared to Siouxsie Sioux, Debbie Harry and other famous frontwomen, Karen O claimed her singing was actually influenced by a couple of dudes.
With her uninhibited stage presence, sneering yelp and junk-shop fashion aesthetic, Karen O almost immediately established herself as the NYC scene’s most compelling lead singer. But while the press quickly compared her to such iconic frontwomen as Siouxsie Sioux, Debbie Harry, Patti Smith and PJ Harvey, she would later reveal that her two biggest early vocal influences were actually Neil Young and Neutral Milk Hotel’s Jeff Mangum.
“A buddy of mine, he introduced me to Neil Young, who I have to say was extremely influential,” she told Lizzy Goodman. “He’s got that super-unconventional voice, but so much feeling, so much heart. His voice and Jeff Mangum’s from Neutral Milk Hotel, they were the two people who got me thinking I could be a singer. I wanted to sing my heart out like those guys.”

#397 - The music video for "Y Control", directed by Spike Jonze, was controversial for its images of children carrying the body of a dead dog, giving the middle finger, and a subtitled portrayal of child mutilation. MTV agreed to air the video; however, they included a disclaimer from Jonze at the beginning, and blurred out some of the video's more offensive material.
