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"
Don't Ask Her That
Shaggy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Certain things you just don't wanna know
Let it go, let it go, you don't wanna know
Let it go
How many men did you have? Don't ask her that
Can you count on one hand? Don't ask her that
Am I like your last man? Don't ask her that
Back in the day were you a freak, don't ask her that
In the past hey did you creep? Don't ask her that
How you so good between the sheets? Don't ask her that
We on a need to know basis and you don't need to know
Go 'head do what you came to do
Wanna know all the things that I used to do
When I keep it on the real you get an attitude
You want the truth, you can't handle the truth
Go 'head do what you came to do
You want to follow my past well it's up to you
When I keep it on the real don't get an attitude
You want the truth, you can't handle the truth
Don't ask 'bout the past you should let some things be
No need to concern 'bout the man she has seen
You ask how many she tell you just three
Knowing that your ego can't handle thirteen
It's best not to ask 'bout her previous guys
Unless you are willin' to handle her lies
Especially when she's discussin' their size
You just might be in for a bigger surprise
You're diggin' for info that you really don't wanna hear
You're stirrin' the feelings that you know you can't really bare
So what if the answers you can prevent your biggest fear
Now ask yourself are you really prepared?
Go 'head do what you came to do
Wanna know all the things that I used to do
When I keep it on the real you get an attitude
You want the truth, you can't handle the truth
Go 'head do what you came to do
You want to follow my past well it's up to you
When I keep it on the real don't get an attitude
You want the truth, you can't handle the truth
An expert, it seems when it comes to foreplay
The many positions she did made your day
I know you must wonder how she got that way
Don't ask you might not wanna hear what she'll say
Just look in the past and the ways you had fun
Would you wanna know when the things you had done
She might lose her cool and be tempted to run
So what heave you learned when it's all said and done
You're diggin' for info that you really don't wanna hear
You're stirrin' the feelings that you know you can't really bare
So what if the answers you can prevent your biggest fear

You want the truth, you can't handle the truth

The song "Don't Ask Her That" by Shaggy featuring Nicole Scherzinger is about the importance of not delving too deeply into a partner's sexual past and instead focusing on the present. The song emphasizes the idea that past sexual experiences are no longer relevant and that a person's past should not affect the present relationship. The lyrics suggest that asking questions about a partner's sexual history can cause unnecessary hurt and insecurity, and it is better to focus on building a strong and loving present relationship rather than dwelling on the past. The repeated refrain "We on a need to know basis and you don't need to know" reinforces the idea that there are some things that should be kept private and not shared with a partner to maintain a healthy relationship.
