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 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now this one goes out to my lady
I want me and you to go on this wonderful love rendezvous
Ha ha ha ha
One on one
Give you a little love escapade,
You know what I'm saying?
Mr. Lover
Candlelight, dinner for two
Just me and you
Under the moon,
Sailing on a summer night cruise
I mean to rock your whole world baby
I'm da man allowed to drive you crazy
Set the motion to the ocean,
Cause some commotion
Girl surrender to my love potion
I'll hit you off now with some hot oil lotion
I play it safe so let me break out my Trojan
Leave it to me, baby
We can turn on the heat, baby
And wrinkle the sheets, baby
Whatever you need, baby (X2)
Now let me find a day real fine
Hot tub, jacuzzi, caviar with some white wine
Girl, I'm livin'-livin' in style
Mansion in the hills and not another house for miles
Now let me take you and show off my pet reptile
In two days gonna feed it to my rottwiler
No interruptions today
Leave it to me and have things my way
Leave it to me, baby
We can turn on the heat, baby
And wrinkle the sheets, baby
Whatever you need, baby (X2)
`Cuz I like the way you do the things you do
I want to make sweet love to you (X2)
I want to send chills up your spine
And make you feel good inside
And explode just like a land mine
I'm here to cunt and thrill and that's my mission
Love-making with timing and precision
My skills is kickin'
An' like breakin'
Proper lovin; leave you hummin
Sweet melodies of future come
Prepare to get soaked in sweat, girl, yeah
`Cuz you ain't seen nothin' yet
Leave it to me, baby
We can turn on the heat, baby
And wrinkle the sheets, baby
Whatever you need, baby (X2)
