Well, it does around here anyway.
The band was three sisters (later a fourth was added) who were being promoted by their dad. If "Shaggs" was supposed to be a euphemism for screwing, the whole thing takes on an even weirder cast. It could conceivably have been a nod to the shag haircut that was popular in the late 60's-early 70's hippie era. The wikipedia page is silent as to the origin of the name.
