Born in Kingston, Jamaica as Ripton Hylton, Eek-a-Mouse began his foray into reggae music when he was in college, but did not begin to garner a substantial audience until 1979 with his hit "Once a Virgin". This same year, he changed his singing name to "Eek-a-Mouse", the name of the racehorse he always bet on. In 1981, he cheered up the Reggae Sunsplash Festival, which was still mourning over the death of reggae icon Bob Marley. After this, his fame continued increasing through the year 1982 until 1988, when he released "Eek-A-Nomics", his last full-length CD until 1996.
Eek-a-Mouse is a regular at the Jamaican music festival Reggae Sunsplash and often teams up with reggae duo Michigan and Smiley. He has also been featured on Christian rock group P.O.D.'s (Payable on Death) album Satellite, lending his vocals to the rock-reggae track "Ridiculous".

Every girl is a virgin to me
Whether some have a whole heap of pickney
Whether some know, or not a ready
Mi nuh care oh, mi nuh care

Some may even a run around
Some may quarrel like
Some sexy, an' curvy-curvy
Mi nuh care oh, mi nuh care
Mi nuh care oh, mi nuh care
Every girl is a virgin to me
Every girl is a virgin to me
Mi nuh care if some have nuff pickney
Some really do, or not are ready
Mi nuh care oh, mi nuh care
Mi nuh care I'll do some, I swear
Some may be fat, mi say, some may be short
Some may be tall, mi say, some may be small
Mi no know hey mi no know

The song "Virgin Girl" by Eek-a-Mouse is a rather controversial tune that talks about the artist's view on women and virginity. The opening line "Every girl is a virgin to me" sets the stage for the entire song, and it is repeated several times throughout the verses. Eek-a-Mouse states that it does not matter whether or not a woman has children or is experienced, they are all virgins to him. He even goes as far as saying that he doesn't care if a woman is fat, slim, tall, short, or if she runs around, quarrels, or is curvy. The repetition of "mi nuh care" highlights his lack of concern about these details.
Eek-a-Mouse seems to be making a statement about the idea of taking someone's virginity, and how it should not be viewed as something of importance. He goes on to sing about how some women may have several children, while others may not be ready for sexual experiences. He concludes the song, still stating that he doesn't care about a woman's past or present experiences, and that he will still do what he wants regardless.
Overall, "Virgin Girl" can be seen as a strange and somewhat offensive tune, but it also sheds light on the societal expectations placed on women regarding virginity and how it can be viewed as a commodity.
