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 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She take three shots and it nah loose her up
Say Shaggy drink 'cause a me boots are up
Every time she go sip she tipsy up
Bartender go slip and switch the cup

Listen, woman, me nah know about what you a think, gal
Feel like you put something in me drink, gal
?Cause you got me head stuck ina the sink, gal
And I can't remember last night

I ain't never gonna drink again
Before I take a sip I'm gonna think of when
I had sex with my woman?s best friend
Again I can?t blame intoxication

Ain't never gonna drink again
Before I take a sip I'm gonna think of when
I had sex with a girl I considered a friend
I can?t blame intoxication

Gal, a bounce pon me bed like trampoline
And a shake up me hip like tambourine
And a dive pon the pool like submarine
Whips and shakes, eh gal, how that come in?

Gal a had me pon the bed and a tie me up
Position ina saddle and ride it up
Too much of one thing, gal, we glide you up
She just slip on me lap and slide it up

Listen, woman, me nah know about what you a think, gal
Feel like you put something in me drink, gal
Now you got me head stuck ina the sink, gal
And I can't remember last night

I ain't never gonna drink again
Before I take a sip I'm gonna think of when
I had sex with my woman?s best friend
Again I can?t blame intoxication

Ain't never gonna drink again
Before I take a sip I'm gonna think of when
I had sex with a girl I considered a friend
I can?t blame intoxication

Baby mother pon the phone say she coming early
Flight lands at nine, now I eight thirty
How me ever explain ?bout her friend Shirley
Lipstick pon me pants and me shirt dirty

While popping adieus when the sun comes up
Wife in on my bed, all cozy up
Couldn't drink and drive so me sober up
Never want kill nobody pon the road, come up

Listen, woman, me nah know about what you a think, gal
Feel like you put something in me drink, gal
?Cause you got me head stuck ina the sink, gal
And I can't remember last night

I ain't never gonna drink again
Before I take a sip I'm gonna think of when
I had sex with my woman?s best friend
Again I can?t blame intoxication

Ain't never gonna drink again
Before I take a sip I'm gonna think of when
I had sex with a girl I considered a friend
I can?t blame intoxication

I ain't never gonna drink again
Before I take a sip I'm gonna think of when
I had sex with my woman?s best friend
Again I can?t blame intoxication

Ain't never gonna drink again
Before I take a sip I'm gonna think of when
I had sex with a girl I considered a friend
I can?t blame intoxication

Can?t blame intoxication
I can?t blame intoxication

Overall Meaning

The song Intoxication by Jamaican artist Shaggy is a humorous take on the aftermath of a wild night out. Shaggy speaks to a woman who he thinks might have put something in his drink, causing him to have crazy hangovers and do things he wouldn't normally do. He insists that he's not into any freaky stuff and won't let any old woman trip him up. However, the woman buys him drinks all night and tries to loosen him up, but even after taking three shots, she can't get him to let loose. The bartender, feeling sorry for her, switches his cup with a stronger drink, and that's when things start to get hazy for Shaggy.

Throughout the song, Shaggy sings about his night of debauchery without judgment or shame, making light of the situation. He speaks of having sex with his woman's best friend and a girl he considered a friend, and although he regrets it, he can't blame intoxication entirely for his actions. What's interesting about the lyrics is that despite the references to sex, they remain relatively clean, making it accessible to a broader audience. The song is catchy, and the lighthearted nature of the lyrics undoubtedly contributed to its popularity.
