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 ↴
Oooo yeah baby that's good
I love you 'cause you're PHAT.
Chorus ( oooooooo P.H.A.T)
This is Shaggy Baby come to my house ill make you some chocolate milk.
For Halloween, Ill be you're mom and you can be you're daddy.
The lyrics to Shaggy's song P.H.A.T. are interesting to interpret. The opening line "This is wack" could be a commentary on the state of the world or the music industry at the time the song was written, expressing frustration or disappointment with the current state of affairs. However, the next line "Oooo yeah baby that's good" seems to contradict this negative sentiment, instead expressing pleasure or satisfaction with something. Then, the line "I love you 'cause you're PHAT" introduces a new element into the lyrics. "PHAT" is slang for "pretty hot and tempting," which suggests that the song is about admiring someone's physical appearance.
