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"

(Now we spread love around the world)
Round and round and round we go
Waiting for the wind to blow
As we walk this streets alone
Only love can bring us home
Waving powerless and blind
Let love guide us through the rain
Forget our yesterday
Only love, love, love
Brings us together
Only love, love, love
Love, forever
Only love, forever and ever
Only love, love, love
Love, forever
Only love can conquer all and move mountains
When you cold, only love makes you warm again
Only love heals a broken heart, we been through
It all girl, came through the storm again
Find your joy, let go of the past
Love invade your walls like the Trojan horse again
Can′t give up, won't give in, find the strength from within
Ask yourself, can you lose my heart again?
I know you're hurting but baby let my love set you free
I′ll never let you fall, let′s go, girl you can trust in me
Forever in my eyes, you will always be the one for me
I'll always love you until they read out my eulogy
Only love, love, love
Brings us together
Only love, love, love
Love, forever
Only love, forever and ever
Only love, love, love
Love, forever
Love heals all, love kills war
I love the hustle but I love you more
Ride or die that′s what love is for
Believe it or not, God loves us all
When I was down and out
You were down with me
Things got deep, you'd drown with me
If there was heat, I know you′d cock back
Click, clap, spit a round with me
Blow a pound with me, hold it down with me
To all them haters, you can come get me
It's us against the world, 150 I love Miami
That′s my city, 305
It's all good, all good
Love is love, love is love
Shaggy, Pitbull, dale
It's all on us
Only love, love, love
Brings us together
Only love, love, love
Love, forever
Only love, forever and ever
Only love, love, love
Love, forever
Round and round and round we go
Waiting for the wind to blow
As we walk this streets alone
Only love can bring us home
