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"

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My mother says when you′re gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have fun
The phone rings in the middle of the night My father yells what you′re gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
Oh girls just wanna have.
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh girls... they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have fun
Wanna have fun Girls wanna have...
Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I wanna be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have
That′s all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh girls... they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have fun, Wanna have fun Girls wanna have...
They just wanna... (girls) They just wanna...

When the working When the working day is done...

The song Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Shaggy is a cover version of the original song by Cyndi Lauper. The lyrics tell the story of a young girl who wants to live life to the fullest and have fun. The song starts with the lines "I come home in the morning light, my mother says when you're gonna live your life right." Here, the singer has just returned home after a night out and is confronted by her mother about the way she is living her life. The girl responds by saying that they are not the "fortunate ones" and all girls want to have fun.
The next verse talks about the father's reaction to the girl's lifestyle. He asks her what she plans to do with her life, and the girl replies that he is still number one in her life, but girls just want to have fun. The chorus repeats the lines "Oh girls they wanna have fun, Oh girls just wanna have fun" and emphasizes the fact that all women want to have some fun in their lives, especially after a hard day's work. The bridge talks about how some boys take away beautiful girls and hide them from the world, but the singer wants to be the one to walk in the sun.
The song ends with the chorus repeating and emphasizing the fact that girls just want to have fun, especially when the working day is done. Overall, the song is an ode to female empowerment and the importance of having a good time, even when life is tough.
