I recently stumbled accross the japanese tv show
[嵐にしやがれ](http://www.ntv.co.jp/arashinishiyagare/) and have been wondering what
its title means. 「しやがれ」doesn't appear in any dictionary I use, but I found
some rather unreliable online sources saying it translates to something along
the lines of 「～しなさい」or 「～しろ」. However, even with that in mind, the title
「嵐にしやがれ」does not make a whole lot of sense to me.

Is there any story behind it? Is it maybe some word-play with the group 「嵐」's
name. Something like 'let's make a storm'/'let's go wild'?

question
meaning slang
What does 嵐にしやがれ mean?
I think it doesn't have any meaning and just a title parody of 勝手にしやがれ.
勝手にしやがれ is used as a title of a famous movie and songs, etc.

answer
**し** is the pre-masu form (aka stem) of する, and **やがれ** is the imperative
form of the auxiliary verb やがる which adds the nuance of "damn" to the main
verb. See [What does しやがって imply? shiyagatte doesn't seem to show up directly
in dictionaries](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11966/5010) for details.
So しやがれ on its own means something like "(darn,) do it!". It's essentially a
rougher version of しろ.

And `N + にする`, where N is a noun/na-adjective, means "to choose N", "to make
it N", "to go in N way", etc. All in all, 嵐にしやがれ means something along the
lines of "Bet on Arashi!", "Go with Arashi, man!". (嵐's literal meaning,
_storm_ , is not particularly relevant now.)

That being said, as @YuuichiTam said, this title is primarily perceived as a
parody of 勝手にしやがれ, and its literal meaning may not be taken seriously.
