Here's my follow up post to Top 10 Mariah Carey Songs . The Roof This was on Mariah's 1997 album Butterfly. I don't think it was a single in the UK.                                     Shake It Off This was the 3rd single from The Emancipation Of Mimi (2005).

The video stars actor Jerry O'Connell as Mariah's ex-boyfriend who has ditched her for another woman (also played by Mariah!). See my Top 10 Mariah post for the remix. :) Mariah

They really don't give a care They even still run free Save your tears, don't cry Cause the water&#
