1, Shaggy (born October 22… Read Full Bio ↴Shaggy is the name of, at least, two artists.
1, Shaggy (born October 22, 1969, in Kingston, Jamaica as Orville Richard Burrell), is a Jamaican reggae artist who takes his nickname from his shaggy hair. He is especially notable for his distinctive sub-baritone voice.
His family immigrated to the United States and they settled in the neighborhood of Flatbush, Brooklyn, located in New York City, New York, USA.
In 1988, he joined the United States Marine Corps and served during Operation Desert Storm during the Persian Gulf War.
On his return from Iraq, he decided to pursue his music career and his first hit in 1993: "Oh Carolina", was a dancehall re-make of a ska hit by the Folkes Brothers. The same year, Shaggy appeared on Kenny Dope's hip hop album "The Unreleased Project". He worked together with producers such as Sting Intl., Don One (who cut his first track), Lloyd 'Spiderman' Campbell and Robert Livingston. He had further big hits, including "Boombastic" in 1995.
He then had a major comeback in 2001, featuring worldwide number-one hit singles "It Wasn't Me" and "Angel," the latter of which was built around Merrilee Rush's 1968 hit "Angel of the Morning" (which was remade in 1981 by Juice Newton). The album Hot Shot, from which those cuts came, would hit number one on the Billboard 200.
However, his 2002 release Lucky Day, and the 2005 album Clothes Drop failed to match Hot Shot's success.
Shaggy performed the theme for Showtime (film), a 2002 movie.
2, Shaggy, a swedish rock/blues rock band from the 1970's. Released one album, "Lessons for beginners"
All About Love
Shaggy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never felt no love like this
I ain't seen no love like this, eh
It's all about love
(Love, love, love, love)
Sweet love
(Love, love, love, love)
A little more love
(Love, love, love, love)
I need your love
(Love, love, love, love)
Now as I wake up in the mornin', meet the risin' sun
You're on my mind throughout the day
Could hardly get things done
It's that love that you give comparison to none
Cupid gave me a shot from a loaded gun
There is no love like this I've ever seen her with
Love strikes, got me all believe it
Sweaty palm and the tearful eye
The thought of you brings me butterflies
It's all about love
(Love, love, love, love)
Sweet love
(Love, love, love, love)
A little more love
(Love, love, love, love)
I want your love
(Love, love, love, love)
I know I'm far from perfect, that's to my dismay
You complain that I'm so stuck in my ways
Insecurity is what I seldom display
It's unexplainable that love I feel for you each day
I told enough lies, it's amazin' that you're still with me
Most times my conscience gets the best of me
All the skirts that I used to chase
No one else can ever take your place
It's all about your love
(Love, love, love, love)
Sweet love
(Love, love, love, love)
I need your love
(Love, love, love, love)
Sweet love
(Love, love, love, love)
(Love, love, love, love)
It's hard to conceal it
(Love, love, love, love)
I need to reveal it
(Love, love, love, love)
It's hard to conceal it
(Love, love, love, love)
Yeah, yeah
It's all about love
(Love, love, love, love)
Sweet love
(Love, love, love, love)
A little more love
(Love, love, love, love)
I want your love
(Love, love, love, love)
A little more love
(Love, love, love, love)
Your sweet, sweet love
(Love, love, love, love)
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
My woman, my woman
