The fifth album from the acceptable face of rampant rogering, Lucky Day consists of 14 lovingly crafted dub-pop shagging sonnets, with titles such as Shake Shake Shake and Hey Sexy Lady. Rhyming "fishnet stocking" with "cherries popping" is Shaggy's preposterous but irresistible stock in trade, but if the Shagster were a mere chauvinist boaster his career would have gone the way of Shabba Ranks.
In fact, Lucky Day is almost a feminist opus. Shaggy urges equality in the bedroom ("Laydeez should be satisfied before you're done"), praises "independent women" and, in Strength of a Woman, even ponders whether God is female. There's nothing quite so Shag-tastic as Boombastic or It Wasn't Me; instead, Shaggy's muse drifts towards bigger things. Walking in My Shoes ponders the man behind the persona, while We Are the Ones partly bemoans the state of the world. Hookie Jookie restores normal service, however, with orgasmic female cries.
