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"

Girl give me little loving girl give me little loving baby come come
Girl give me little loving i want you to to be by my side tonight
Girl give me little loving girl give me little loving baby come come
Girl give me little loving can't see myself alone tonight
I don't mind when you say that you're going away
I just don't want to be lonely
I just don't want to be lonely
Girl could you hold me babe that would please me
Don't do this darling i hate when you leave me
You got me hooked girl this isn't easy
If you don't love me baby release me
Now girl we could dine pour us some wine
After the meal we can unwind putting my heart back on the line
Girl its a fact you should be mine
Now mi no plan fi spend another long lonely night
And a lay down in a mi bed a hug mi pillow up tight
No feel no way i man can't take the fuss and the fight
I rather make sweet love to you under the candle light
I don't mind when you say that you're going away
I just don't want to be lonely
And i don't care if we spend only moments a day
I just don't want to be lonely
Now listen me please i'm down on my knees
I'm begging you darling put me at ease
What's with this feeling i wish it would cease
My heart is held hostage i beg for release
Why won't reveal just what you feel
Let it out babe just be for real
Girl what you afraid of why is it concealed
I know what i bargained for and this ain't the deal
Now mi no plan fi spend another long lonely night
And a lay down in a mi bed a hug mi pillow up tight
No feel no way i man can't take the fuss and the fight
I rather make sweet love to you under the candle light
I don't mind when you say that you're going away
I just don't want to be lonely
And i don't care if we spend only moments a day
I just don't want to be lonely
[Chorus]
The lyrics of Shaggy's song Lonely Lover explore the feeling of loneliness in a relationship and the desire for love and affection. The chorus emphasizes the importance of having someone to love and be loved by, and the desire for that special someone to be present. The verses express the singer's vulnerability and desperation for his partner's attention and affection. He is willing to compromise and accept even fleeting moments of companionship just to avoid being alone.
The lyrics also reveal a sense of helplessness and frustration. The singer is uncertain about his partner's feelings, and he feels trapped in a situation where he cannot express his own emotions. He pleads with his partner to be honest and open with him, and to stop playing games with his heart.
The song captures the universal human need for connection and intimacy, and the fear of being left alone. It portrays the struggle to maintain a relationship and the pain of separation, as well as the hope and optimism for a brighter future.

I was 10🤣🤣 I had my mama buy me the CD after hearing his singles on the radio and then this ended up being one of favorite songs
@ezbucs
One of only so many albums you can play ALL the way through without skipping one single track for damn near 30 years and it never gets old. 100% a top 3 album all time for me.
@P4boot
I had this album when it was released. I just discovered the original song today by the Main Ingredient group. Shaggy's version is still fire! lol Good stuff right here.
@saimonileuta6809
Who is the main ingredient singer of this song bro.

One of the best feel good and underrated albums ever made. Virtually every track off Hotshot should have been a hit.
