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"

[Repeat Verse 1]
The song "Hot Gal" by Shaggy, is an upbeat dancehall track that talks about the singer's love for women and their physical attributes. The intro of the song is directed at the "player haters", suggesting that the lyrics may not be appropriate for everyone. The chorus makes it clear that the singer loves having attractive women in his bed, but as the verse progresses, it becomes clear that he also enjoys the thrill of pursuing and seducing women. The lyrics are written in Jamaican Patois, a creole language made up of a combination of English, Spanish and African languages.
In the first verse, Shaggy talks about how he is not weak for just any woman, but rather he seeks out only those with attractive bodies. He brags about being able to "tek man fih geek" (i.e. steal another man's woman) and how he only allows certain things to happen with women, but he doesn't want to be called a freak. In the second verse, he talks about using a fake name ("Tony") to conceal his identity when he's with women. He boasts about his sexual prowess and talks about how he's able to keep his private life separate from his public persona.
Overall, the song "Hot Gal" glorifies casual and promiscuous sexual behavior with multiple partners, portraying women as mere objects for male pleasure. The lyrics also have a dual meaning, as some parts of the lyrics could be interpreted as referring to cannabis use.
