Mariah recorded and alt rock album in 1995 and it was released under the name Chick, with lead vocals by Mariah's friend Clarissa Dane and Mariah's voice disguised as a hidden layer. “I was playing with the style of the breezy-grunge, punk-light white female singers who were popular at the time,” Mariah writes in her memoir. “You know the ones who seemed to be so carefree with their feelings and their image. They could be angry, angsty, and messy, with old shoes, wrinkled slips, and unruly eyebrows, while every move I made was so calculated and manicured. I wanted to break free, let loose, and express my misery — but I also wanted to laugh. I totally looked forward to doing my alter-ego band sessions after Daydream each night.” “Malibu” was written by C. Dane-Davidson (Clarissa Dane), D. Sue (Mariah Carey), W. Vlad (Walter Afanasieff) and W. Chester (Gary Cirimelli).
Mariah directed the music video for “Malibu.”
If I were Malibu Barbie and you were suntan Ken
I'd probably dump your ass for G.I. Joe 'cause he's macho, yeah
And if I were Marcia Brady and you were Keith Partridge
I'd probably cheat on you with Davy Jones
But you don't care that I don't care at all (I'm using you)
You don't care that I don't care at all
If I were Roger with Jeannie and you were Melrose Place
I'd probably blink my eyes and send your ass to Lost In Space
But you don't care that I don't care at all (I'm using you)
You don't care that I don't care at all (I'm using you)
You don't care that I don't care at all ('Cause I'm using you)
You don't care that I don't care at all
You know I think you're kinda stupid
Why can't you get it through your big fat head
I hate you, I hate you, I wish you were dead
You don't care that I don't care at all (I'm using you)
You don't care that I don't care at all (I'm only using you)
You don't care that I don't care at all ('Cause I'm using you)
You don't care that I don't care at all (I'm using you)
You don't care that I don't care at all (I'm using you)
