The musician phoned the hotel lobby to ask for a fan for his room because he was very hot.
However, the receptionist at the hotel in Kiev, Ukraine, misunderstood and thought he wanted a fan of the female variety.
Moby told the New York Post newspaper: "It was very hot in the hotel and they had no air-conditioning. At four in the morning, I called the front desk and asked if they could send up a fan. The guy put me on hold, and came back, and said, 'There are no fans.'
"We had this long confused conversation and finally he said he was sorry, but there are no women in the lobby. He thought I meant a groupie. Eventually I was able to explain to him that I meant a plastic thing that spun in the air. So he was able to finally send up an actual plastic fan."
