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"

Shaggy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It makes me melt away
Your touch makes me melt away
On a summer day
Your love makes me melt away
Right away
You make my body melt for you
Dame dame dame dame dame dame
Sweet tripping body well tone
Make your love run down
Like an ice cream cone
Slow motion girl from top
Yeah like that keep it up like that girl
Might... cause my love won't burn you
But I keep in touch like an infernal
Whatever it takes to make you stay
Girl my love makes you melt away
[Chorus]
Your love makes me melt away
It makes me melt away
Your touch makes me melt away
On a summer day
Your love makes me melt away
Right away
You make my body hot for you
Dame dame dame dame dame dame
Dame dame dame dame dame dame
Ice my love so hot to makes your body melt like ice
Come over here lay down let's turn off the lights
Girl I will do you right
I will take you straight to paradise
Make me hot hot hot hot hot
So hot
Hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot
[Chorus]
Your love makes me melt away
It makes me melt away
Your touch makes me melt away
On a summer day
Your love makes me melt away
Right away
You make my body hot for you
Dame dame dame dame dame dame
Dame dame dame dame dame dame
The above lyrics are from the song "Dame" by Shaggy. In these lyrics, Shaggy expresses how his love interest can make him melt away with her love and touch, especially on a summer day. He also mentions how her body is toned and tripping, and compares her love to an ice cream cone, which can make his love burn her if he's not careful. Shaggy tries his best to keep in touch with her and make her stay with him as his love makes her melt away.
The lyrics of "Dame" carry sexual connotations and are definitely not meant to be taken literally. When Shaggy says, "Your love makes me melt away," he is not actually melting, but rather conveying how deeply his love affects him. Similarly, when he talks about making his love interest hot, he is referring to sexual arousal rather than actual temperature. The overall theme of the song is seduction, and Shaggy is using his lyrics to woo and entice his love interest.
