It's the soundtrack our summer needs.

Shaggy aka Mr Boombastic aka Mr Lover Lover (stop me when the references get too old for you) is back! Unbelievably it's been 20 whole years since Shaggy first graced us with his growling Reggae tones and dancefloor fillers like , and . His tracks were cheesy, cheery earworms that were far more sexy than our repressed little nation was used to. There's no denying that  was an absolute banger – even if we were far, far too young at the time to understand exactly what 'banging on the bathroom floor' was about. Well, now Shaggy is back with an updated version of his original album, , which includes a new version of the 'anthem'. We're pretty sure that the world wasn't crying out for a new version of this song, so what a 'new and younger fan base' will think of it in the post MeToo era is anyone's guess. Consider, for instance, just this snippet in which our 'hero' gives a masterclass in gaslighting: Nice. However, Shaggy now insists that the intention of the song was misunderstood – not the gaslighting, unfortunately, but the general advice on getting away with cheating. Hmmm.... Definitely one that requires pushing your political correctness to one side, but sure if we can guilt dance to Robin Thicke then we can definitely still sing along to Shaggy. And if it helps your conscience, he's been doing some good work raising funds for the people of Jamaica during the Covid-19 crisis.
