Ah, remember those good old days when you’d slide a ‘Now That’s What I Call Music’ CD into the player and connect a separate speaker with a cable?
You’d then dance around your room to hits like Shaggy’s ‘It Wasn’t Me’, moving as if nobody was watching.
Hint: It’s not as straight-forward as you think.
Some of the lyrics read: “Honey came in and she caught me red-handed/ Creeping with the girl next door/ Picture this, we were both butt-naked/ Banging on the bathroom floor
“How could I forget that I had/ Given her an extra key/ All this time she was standing there/ She never took her eyes off me.”
However, that interpretation isn’t accurate.
But that doesn’t mean listeners to his hit tune didn’t question if he hadn’t had a bit of a complicated past when it came to women and relationships.
“It’s just that nobody listened to the record to the end,” he added.
*Desperately tries to hum my way through the song to get to the end*
Well, Shaggy explained: “There’s a part in the record where it’s a conversation between two people and you have one guy, which is me at that point, giving that bad advice, like, ‘Yo, bro, how could you get caught?
“‘I’ve been listening to your reasoning, it makes no sense at all. Going to tell her that I’m sorry for the pain that I’ve caused.
“You might think that you’re a player, but you’re completely lost’.”
Well, you learn something new every day eh?
