“Class Fight” by Melanie Martinez
The song “Class Fight”, like the rest of Melanie Martinez’s critically acclaimed “K-12” album, is placed in a school setting. More specifically to the narrative contained on this track, the singer finds herself in love with a boy who is already involved with someone else. Thus Melanie becomes “jelly”, which is a slang word for jealous.
She is confused about the matter and accordingly consults her parents for advice. And basically they tell her not to give up. Indeed Martinez’s father takes it a step further by even encouraging her to “go for the throat”. Thus she goes about dealing with the situation by attacking this girl and beating her bloody. This is obviously where the titular “class fight” came from.
However, things do not materialize as idealized. Melanie fails to achieve her goal. And why? Simply because her “one true love”, i.e. the boy Melanie is infatuated with who is the girl’s boyfriend, now considers Martinez to be “a monster”. But at the end of the day, it seems as if she has derived a sense of satisfaction from thrashing her rival in this love triangle.

I’m a little lost because isn’t crybaby’s dad technically dead as in portrayed in sippy cup?
Me too. I think I have a theory for why her dad is talking to her. I think her dad is talking to her through her powers…. Because she uses her powers to grab the girls throat
Maybe it’s the ghost of her dad
yea it’s his ghost talking to her saying “go for the throat”
Melanie Martinez is a terrible influence on young girls.
No she’s not. I stared listening to her when I was 8. she’s taught me morals and lessons and letting me know that I’m perfect the way I am and now I’m letting my sister listen to her So she doesn’t grow up believing that she needs to change herself for anyone. I feel like young girls should listen to her. Her songs may be dark but at least they’re true and real unlike all the actual bad influences that are on the radio nowadays. Believe what you want but Melanie Martinez is like a wise older sister that teaches you that you’re perfect the way you are and some actual problems that need to be fixed. 😀
bruh, no she is not.
Alyna, her songs actually inspire some people/yOuNg gIrLs.
No she isn’t Kelly is she has taught me good morals and that I dont need to change my body for anyone and everytime I’m sad I listen to her song Pity Party that shows that you don’t need bad friends all you need is yourself
Your a terrible influence on young girls😒
CEASER SHUT THE F**K UP
LOOK AROUND YOU. MELANIE ACTUALLY WRITES SONG THAT HELP MOST PEOPLE RELIZE THAT THEY ARE PERFECT AND DON’T NEED TO CHANGE A THING AND IF YOU GOT A PROBLEM THEN GET LOST BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS YOUR CRITISM HERE. her songs actually helped me feel better.
Get your a*s up and look outside many people thank Melanie Martinez for making them feel better about their body and etc, So shut the up Mrs. Potato really helped with my body she reminded me that I don’t want needles or other things to make myself “pretty”. I’m perfect the way I am many other people need to realize that because many people other ENDED their lives cause their looks. I tried to choke myself but then I stopped because that’s not what my grand dad would like in heaven…Don’t say things without knowing please and thank you
She may do what parents will phrase as ¨bad influence¨ but a lot of kids come to see her concerts plus she explains the future of a kids life through music which I find really settling..
Stfu ????
In the film k-12, Kelly was the only person with a knife and was cutting crybaby so wouldn’t verse 2 be Kelly’s POV.
Just a theory.
Correct, it’s wrong I think
Melanie’s song’s teach me a lot and I can compare them to my real life. Like Dollhouse.
im so sorry about that and yes dollhouse reminds me of my life
True
I think Melanie is great influence for people, yes she uses ad words and yes her videos are kind of creepy, but some of her songs such as mrs potato head and orange juice explain that your body is perfect and also orange juice is one of the most import songs ever, it explains A eating disorder called bulimia and talks about how your body is perfect. So for you Alayna to say that Melanie Martinez is a bad influence on girls its like your wishing self hatred on them.
right, Melaine Martinez, is a good person to listen to ur body is perfect u are beautiful even tho shes says some bw she is still good
Some people have different opinions so u both are right
Her songs are very educational and a learning experience
Melanie’s song mad hatter helped me realize that some people may view me or you as crazy, or weird but That’s okay because we’re all unique in our own ways and there’s no one I’d rather be than me!
