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"
Sexual Healing
Shaggy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin′
And baby, I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger
And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing, baby
Helps to relieve my mind
Sexual Healing baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that′s good for me
Whenever blue tear drops are falling
And my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something I can do
I can get on the telephone and call you my baby, and
Honey I know you′ll be there to relieve me
The love you give to me will free me
If you don't know the things you′re dealing
I can tell you, darling, that it's Sexual Healing
Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up, let′s make love tonight
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, 'cos you do it right
Baby I got sick this morning
A sea was storming inside of me
Baby I think I′m capsizing
The waves are rising and rising
And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing is good for me
Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush
Helps to relieve the mind, and it's good for us
Sexual Healing, baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that′s good for me
And it′s good for me and it's good to me
My baby ohhh
Come take control, just grab a hold
Of my body and mind
Soon we′ll be making it
Honey, oh we're feeling fine
You′re my medicine open up and let me in
Darling, you're so great
I can′t wait for you to operate
Get up get up get up get up
Let's make love tonight
Wake up wake up wake up wake up
Cause you do it right
The song Sexual Healing by Shaggy is a cover of Marvin Gaye's classic hit released in 1982. The song talks about the sexual desire and longing of an individual towards their partner, and how physical intimacy can heal one's emotional stress, anxiety, and pain. The opening lines, "Ooh, baby, let's get down tonight, baby I'm hot just like an oven, I need some lovin'" set up the mood of the song, the desire for physical intimacy. The lyrics amplify the deep yearning of the singer for his lover and how their sexual bonding would give him "relief" from the unstable mental state.
The lines "Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up, let's make love tonight, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, 'cos you do it right" illustrate how physical intimacy could potentially solve emotional issues by bringing the two individuals closer to each other. The song highlights how sex is an essential component of a healthy relationship, and if done between two consenting adults, it can be a liberating experience. Hence, the individual seeking "sexual healing" in the song is not only asking for physical relief but for emotional wellbeing too.

Heyyy! I downloaded this song by accident during the limewire days and thought this was one of the best songs I've ever heard. But, anyone can tell this isn't Shaggy. It's been more than 14 years I'd been looking for it and couldn't find it until today. Always wondered who the artiste was. This should have gone further. It is still amazing vibes to this day!!!!! Good job Max a Million.
