"It Wasn't Me" was the most melodic out of these three, so I am voting for that one.

Why no "Oh Carolina"?

― Geir Hongro, Thursday, 23 October 2008 22:29 (eighteen years ago)

i wouldn't have take 5,000-1 odds on $2 that geir hongro was going to be the first to respond to this thread

― jordan s (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 23 October 2008 22:32 (eighteen years ago)

taken

anyway i picked these three songs because they are the best this poll isn't democratic

i think "angel" is the most melodic. it reminds me of sugar ray

― jordan s (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 23 October 2008 22:32 (eighteen years ago)

"Boombastic" because when it came out I changed the lyrics to make a Ocean Spray jingle. I used to drink much more than I do now.

― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 23 October 2008 23:00 (eighteen years ago)

The doctor calls me Mr. Boom.....

"Angel" is awful, btw

It's not like I would have voted for "Oh Carolina" anyway.
I can buy that "Angel" is kind of melodic too. I hate "Boombastic" though.

liked this Shaggy track from last year, 'Church Heathen'

Boombastic by a mile. Great track.

― chap, Monday, 27 October 2008 00:17 (eighteen years ago)

Eventually I am going to write a book or a website or something about the ten best singles of the 90s, and Boombastic is going to be in there.

― Doctor Casino, Monday, 27 October 2008 02:18 (eighteen years ago)

0 votes for "Angel" is otm, too.

― R$ (The Reverend), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 06:00 (eighteen years ago)

I like "Dance and Shout" pretty well.

"It Wasn't Me"

― Someone Still Loves You Evan and Jaron (Tape Store), Monday, 30 March 2009 14:36 (seventeen years ago)

awesome lyrics!

― Someone Still Loves You Evan and Jaron (Tape Store), Monday, 30 March 2009 14:37 (seventeen years ago)

"It Wasn't Me" is the best, but that's mostly due to the brilliant chorus and the guest singer's silky voice; Shaggy feels more like a guest star there. "Mr. Boombastic" is a better Shaggy performance.

― Tuomas, Monday, 30 March 2009 14:41 (seventeen years ago)

Btw, why didn't that guest singer become a star in his own right? His voice is so pretty.

― Tuomas, Monday, 30 March 2009 14:42 (seventeen years ago)

two years pass...

so i had NO IDEA shaggy sang "boombastic" until i was on the "it wasn't me" wikipedia page earlier today

the world is new

how could i forget that i had given her an extra key ;_;

― markers, Thursday, 7 April 2011 22:34 (fifteen years ago)

"It Wasn't Me" was the most melodic out of these three, so I am voting for that one.

Had anyone listened to the Shaggy x Sting collab album

― change display name (Jordan), Thursday, 8 October 2020 04:00 (six years ago)

i listened to the single from it and can't remember anything about it

― dyl, Friday, 9 October 2020 02:53 (six years ago)

i saw them perform together in my office (lol) and it was completely delightful

Shaggy knows his stuff (until he’s tripped up at the very end!)

― Wooly Bully (2005 Remaster) (morrisp), Thursday, 4 January 2024 19:08 (two years ago)

uhhh of course he knows the Sting one

― frogbs, Thursday, 4 January 2024 19:09 (two years ago)

"Closer than my peeps you are to me" is an all-time lyric

Does everyone ride for the OG album/Levis commercial version of "Boombastic" or the MTV music video Marvin Gaye Sting International remix version?

― The SoyBoy West Coast (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 4 January 2024 19:16 (two years ago)

Obviously I ride for the album version that sounds like the Bug

― The SoyBoy West Coast (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 4 January 2024 19:18 (two years ago)

“Oh Carolina” was the worst Margaritaville-type bar-with-a-dance-floor in the summer of ‘93, cute Peter Gunn sample and all. Sounds better now than it did then!

― underwater as a compliment (Eazy), Thursday, 4 January 2024 19:48 (two years ago)

*worst song
