Sugarcane featured on VEVO VEVO features Shaggy’s awesome new Sugarcane video!
“Sir Shaggy, the reggae genius behind classics like summertime slow jam “Angel” and the smooth bump-and-grind diddy “Boombastic” is back with a new song, highlighting the tasty highlights of his hometown. And, thanks to him, we now want candy at 8:30 in the morning. Bags and bags and bags of sugary sugar candy sugar. Or sugar packets. Or candy.
Being seductively straightforward about the whole thing, Shaggy gives a visiting tourist a bag of native treat sugarcane, and effectively pulls her away from friends to show her the good times around town. (Don’t worry, it’s not a kidnapping. She’s chillin’ on the beach and swaying her hips. No one shakes their booty when they’re not having a blast). Her sister goes home and rats her our for staying in Jamaica, and her mom, triumphantly, declares she’s going to Jamaica to get her daughter back. Or so we think… (!!!!!!)
If there’s one thing that’s clear about this video, it’s that “sugarcane” is most definitely not a euphemism for something. Nothing in particular. Nothing at all! It’s just magic and love and happy good times that get everyone together… Take a looksie this guilty pleasure and not at all innuendo-filled summertime singsong, stat.” Read more on VEVO and take a look at the beautiful and hilarious Sugarcane video!
