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"

Shaggy ha
Ravyon
Sun and fun in the
Atmosphere, oh yes
In the summertime when
The weather is high
You can stretch right up
When the weather is fine
You've got women
You've got women
On your mind
I'm gonna drive and ride and
See now what I can find
Now if her daddy's rich
Take her out for a meal
And if her daddy's poor
Then do as you feel
Speedin' down the lane even
Thought the speed limit's 25
And when the sun goes down
I'll make it with my cutie pie
Weh me say
Pretty little women
Sexy as can be
Sweet as a honey
Sting like bumble bee
Shaggy say
Pretty little women
Sexy as can be
Sweet as honey
Sting like bumble bee
[Rap]
It's a summertime affair
In the atmosphere
I man love off her attire
And the clothes she wear
Some burn off them with tyre
And a draw down a gear
Some a shine up wax up
Not a sign of snare
Got to be rolling in my
Christmas so the girl them stare
This is Shaggy and Rayvon
As your ultimate pair
Taking care of our career
So tell the world beware
'Cause it's a brand new
Selection for your musical ear
We say what we want and
We say what we need
And we love everybody
And we do as we please
And when the weather is fine,
We go fishin' we
Go fishin' in the sea
We are happy to live life
That's our philosophy
Now if her daddy's rich
Take her out for a meal
And if her daddy's poor
Then do as you feel
Speedin down the lane even
Thought the speed limit's 25
And when the sun goes down
I'll make it with my cutie pie
Sweat a run off her body
With her caramel skin
I man smiled at her she
Looked at me and grinned
I offered her a drink she said
Juice and Gin
And I whispered in her ear
I asked how you doin'
Where was it that I reside
And I told her Brooklyn
Atmosphere filled with romance
Her eyes sparkling
Just her voice and what
She said let my poor head spin
Raggamuffin Shaggy
With a musical swing
I say
Pretty little woman
Sexy as can be
Sweet as a honey
Sting like bumble bee
In the summertime
When the weather is high
You can stretch right up
And touch the sky
When the weather is fine
You've got women
You've got women
On your mind
I'm gonna drive and ride
And see what I can find
Now if her daddy's rich
Take her out for a meal
And if her daddy's poor
Then do as you feel
Speedin' down the lane even
Thought the speed limit's 25
And when the sun goes down
I'll make it with my cutie pie
Pretty little women
Sexy as can be
Sweet as a honey
Sting like bumble bee
Pretty little women
Sexy as can be
Sweet as honey
Sting like bumble bee

In the summertime
The song "In the Summertime" by Shaggy, featuring Rayvon, is an upbeat reggae-infused track that celebrates the fun and freedom of summer. The lyrics describe a carefree summer vibe, with lines like "sun and fun in the atmosphere" and "when the weather is high, you can stretch right up and touch the sky." The song also delves into romance, with the singers describing encounters with pretty women and proposing taking them out on dates or just enjoying each other's company.
One notable feature of the song is its use of a sample from the song "In the Summertime" by the British band Mungo Jerry. The classic rock track was released in 1970 and also celebrates the joys of summer. Shaggy's version adds a contemporary twist with its hip-hop and Caribbean flair.
