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 make me wait in vain, to love you
Can't wait to give you mi last name
Don't make me wait, don't make me too long, girl
Don't make me wait, don't make me wait
To love, to love, to love you
Don't make me wait, don't make me wait
To love, to love, to love you
It didn't take me long to fall in love with your mind
And I won't even mention the way your body perfectly design, so fine
And judging from your outlook on life, I knew this would be more than jus' one night
But now I'm ready for the next level and you're telling me you need more time
No crime, nothing wrong with waitin' a little bit
You know this is more to me than jus' hittin' it
But you only get a love like this once in a lifetime
And if this is our chance I ain't missing it
My whole life I ain't felt like this, jus' wanna run I don't wanna fight this
I ain't rushin' you to make up your mind, jus' wanna put some more quality in a we time
Come on, girl!
Don't make me wait, don't make me wait
To love, to love, to love you
I can't wait no fi love ya
Don't make me wait, don't make me wait
To love, to love, to love you
I don't want you to think I'm rushin' you
I know you like to take your time (time, time)
I'm already sold on the idea, of you and I
Just tell me where I need to sign
'Cause I've been searching for a while, girl
And I know what works for me (oh, oh)
All I need to know if this is what you want, girl
'Cause I'm already where I need to be
So don't make me wait
Don't make me wait, don't make me wait
To love, to love, to love you
I can't wait no longer
Don't make me wait, don't make me wait
To love, to love, to love you
Say wah
You don't wanna rush and I don't wanna take my time
I'm putting everything on the line
They say that true love's hard to find
I'm ready now to make you mine
Don't make me wait
Baby, now, baby, now, don't make me wait
You gotta say yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't make me wait
Baby, now, baby, now, don't make me wait
Don't make me wait
The song "Don't Make Me Wait" by Shaggy Sting is about a man expressing his desire to take his relationship to the next level and asking his partner not to make him wait any longer. The lyrics convey the urgency he feels and his fear of losing the opportunity for a lifelong love.
The lyrics, "Don't make me wait in vain, to love you" show how he is ready to commit fully to her and give her his last name. He is afraid that if she waits too long, they might miss their chance to build a love strong enough to last forever.
The verse "It didn't take me long to fall in love with your mind, And I won't even mention the way your body perfectly designed, so fine" demonstrates that he has fallen in love with everything about her—the way she thinks, the way she looks, and the way she makes him feel. He is ready to take the relationship seriously and wants her to feel the same way.
Overall, the song is an invitation to take a chance on love and not let fear, doubt, or hesitation get in the way.

Sting's voice is perfect for reggae. He and Shaggy make a great team.
