Caught him red-handed.
Shaggy raised eyebrows this holiday season by including his 2000 song “It Wasn’t Me” in a medley of hits during the 99th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
The surprising performance unfolded as the Jamaican-American musician, 57, appeared alongside singer Rayvon, 57, on the Jennie-O Big Turkey Spectacular float in New York City on Thursday morning.
After kicking off with his popular 1995 track “Mr. Bombastic,” the music stopped and Shaggy jumped into “It Wasn’t Me” – a suggestive NSFW song about a man’s partner catching him having sex with another woman.
“Honey came in and she caught me red-handed / Creepin’ with the girl next door,” he sang as kids and other paradegoers danced along. “How could I forget that I had / Given her an extra key?”
However, Shaggy made sure not to include the song’s more explicit lyrics about being caught “butt naked” and “bangin’ on the bathroom floor” before he and Rayvon moved on to their 2000 hit “Angel.”
But the performance still took viewers by surprise, and many rushed to social media to question why the reggae star sang “It Wasn’t Me” during a parade that also featured characters from “Sesame Street” and a giant Buzz Lightyear balloon.
