Eek-A-Mouse is the stage name of Ripton Joseph Hylton (born 19 November 1957), a Jamaican reggae musician. He is one of the earliest artists to be described as a singjay. He is known for pioneering his own style of scatting, differing from the-then toasting deejays in the 1980s. Apart from his distinctive vocal style, Eek-A-Mouse has been noted for often wearing flashy and eccentric costumes during his performances. In a 1985 interview, he explained: “Entertaining is not just singing and rapping to audiences. People want to see you in costume and dancing.”

“Once A Virgin” is a single by Jamaican reggae musician Eek-A-Mouse. Released in 1981 on Joe Gibbs Record Globe Records.
