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"

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That no one will understand unless they're in it,
Yeah know
So we mash up
So we make up
So we love up

Some folks won't think that's fine
But that's when
You give me
That love that blows my mind
That good love you give
That makes mi scream your name out loud
Let's breakup
Then make up
Tek mi to the clouds
Girl
Everything I do yeah know it's all about you
Got to trust this feeling cause this feeling is true
Your sex appeal is ?
I don't wanna see reality if this is what it's like to be in love
In other words it means that I'm mad happy that we
Are fortunate to finally discover and s
That love can feel like a bird
This vibe is not a vibe that one can describe with words
Friends
Always try to tell me this feeling I feel
Is to good to be so this feeling ain't real
They look at us and swear we must be mad
They'd have to be in our shoes to understand the love that we have
Love that's unconditional through struggles and pain
? affections through the storms and rain
Your love completes my life
And if I'm ever gonna settle then you'd have to be my
Gal you like when Mr. Lovah rock yeah spot

Excess amount of love you get it non-stop
Come let me love yeah up right round deh clock

Baby make mi scream your name
Make me wanna go insane
Feelings running through my veins
Strange love is the sweetest pain
Baby make mi wanna scream your name
Make mi wanna go insane
Feelings running through my veins
Strange love is the sweetest pain.
In the song Strange Love, Shaggy is expressing the complexity of his love towards his partner. He understands that their love is unique and not everyone can fully understand it. They have their ups and downs, breaking up and making up, but Shaggy believes it's how their love operates. Some people may not agree with their way of love, but the way his partner makes him feel is worth it. When they make up, it's intense and explosive, making him scream his partner's name in ecstasy. He feels that their love is beyond words, and it's discovered together like a flight with a perfect bird. Friends try to make him doubt his love, but Shaggy knows that their love is unconditional, accepts the lows and celebrates the highs, through struggles and pain. His love is what completes his life, and he would never settle for anyone less.
