Goldie Lookin Chain
Several Goldie Lookin Chain songs have been written about him. These include "The Maggot" born 17 June 1976 (from Newport, South Wales Greatest Hits); based on the tune of "You've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two" from the musical Oliver! and "Maneater" by Hall & Oates together with a Steeleye Span hook. "The Maggot" also namechecks Fagin, Dick Turpin, Penelope Keith and Kylie Minogue and features fellow GLC member Mystikal.
Another song, "Maggot at Midnight" (from Safe as Fuck), namechecks (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Nosferatu, The Crystal Maze, Michael Jackson and Jackson's song "Thriller") and features a sample from the television show 'Danger Mouse'. Another short track he features on is called "Maggot's Stand-Up" where Maggot does a short stand-up comic style set; it mostly features scatological references. Maggot also identifies himself as The Hip Hop Vampire, which is one of his aliases.[citation needed]
Maggot, like the other members of the group is a supporter of Newport County AFC although he has never seen them play.
Maggot's parents stay in a small village on the west coast of Scotland. Maggot regularly visits them.
Origin of his nickname
He acquired his nickname after friends decided that as a child he looked like a maggot while wearing his pink puffer jacket.
Celebrity Big Brother
