Orville Richard Burrell, better known by his stage name of Shaggy, is a Jamaican rapper, singer, and songwriter. He performed his own take on "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?," called "Shaggy, Where Are You?," which was featured in the 2002 live-action film Scooby-Doo. In the alternate opening of the film, which is fully animated, the full song is used, while in the finished version, that opening was scrapped, and just the first couple of lines were used, instead, when the title card appeared on-screen.

Behind the scenes

  • In the Drop the Mic episode "Hanson vs. Sam Richardson & Shaggy vs. Matthew Lillard," Matthew Lillard won a rap spar against Shaggy. During one of his raps, Lillard questions why he's called Shaggy when he looks like Scooby (making his Shaggy voice when saying Scooby), to which Shaggy replies, "Really?" in Scooby's voice.
  • Shaggy's part in the movie is used for questions in two episodes of Jeopardy!:
    • May 6, 2004: In the "Hit Songs" category for $600, the question was, "This performer had a song on the Scooby-Doo soundtrack; he shares his name with a character in the movie 'She call me Mr. Boombastic / Say me fantastic / Touch me on me back, she say...'," with the answer being, "Who is Shaggy?"
    • July 10, 2007: In the "Names in Pop Music" category for $800, the question was, "He could be one of Scooby-Doo's crew, but this reggae star made "Angel" a big hit in 2001," with the answer being, "Who is Shaggy?"
