This song is making a lot more sense with everything that's going on, Mel isn't wrong 💗 🥺

it’s so crazy how she makes it seem as though she’s talking about a school principal. When she’s actually talking about the principals of the industry and how the artists are the “kids” they’re killing. and how she hates having to suppress herself to follow said rules.

1 - She sings 2 - She acts 3 - She dances 4 - She directs 5 - She draws 6 - She writes 7 - She makes her make-up 8 - She makes her clothes 9 - She make me happy What a QUEEN...

“Shooting at the angels while claiming your the ‘good guy’” That line is everything

She’s more successful than the person that won the voice 💖💖

This aged like fine wine Especially the killing kids line I can’t even

*SHOOTING AT THE ANGELS WHILE CLAIMING YOU’RE THE GOOD GUY*

“If you’re not teaching, we’re not learning.” THAT LINE IS SO STRONG BRO

1 year... if you are listening to it you are a legend. edit: now this comment has 1 year loll, still listening this

Melanie has dancers all races and sizes,shes honestly so right too,yet she still gets cancelled for stuff that have been proved wrong 💔 this song is so underrated too, i love melanie we stan,omg thanks for all the likes ive never gotten so many 😃💞

omg melanie is soo beautiful im dead🧚🏼‍♀️💕✨

The Principal talks about toxic politicians Orange Juice talks about eating disorders Playdate talks about casual sexual relationships Strawberry Shortcake talks about the sexualization and objectification of girls Dollhouse talks about dysfunctional families pretending to be perfect Sippy Cup talks about alcoholism Tag You're It talks about kidnapping Teacher's Pet talks about grooming Mrs. Potato Head talks about low self esteem and plastic surgery addiction Mad Hatter talks about mental health issues/dr*gs Cake talks about objectification in relationships Alphabet Boy talks about love interests with huge academic egos

ONLINE FIGHTS LMFAO SHE REALLY CALLING HIM OUT FOR HIS TWITTER SCANDALS

I love how her songs aren't just songs about love. It's so easy to write a love song (no disrespect to those artists who do), but its so much harder to write a song about a real world problem. her songs are so thought out, and not just emotionless words.

No one: World of dance: You’re in the Finale!

She doesn’t realize how perfect she really is.

"If you don't like pop surrealism, you probably won't like me. If you can't understand that visual art has a deeper meaning and you only look at it for face value, you probably won't get my work. If you can't understand that crybaby is a character, that the first record is representative of her childhood, and if you sexualize female pop artists on the daily, you'll say I 'sexualize babies'. If you can't understand why someone would bring up mental health, growing pains from childhood adolescence, family issues, and other uncomfortable topics we never hear about in pop music, you will probably just throw my music and art away as something that 'glamorizes mental health issues' even though most of the people resonate with my work, deal with these things on a day to day and someone needs to be there for them. So here I am. If you have issues with my music and art and judge it so harshly to the point of making up your own reason as to what my intentions were when making it, you should just stop watching it. Because quite frankly, you. Just. Don't. Get. It." -- Melanie Martinez

After everything that’s been going on recently with the Supreme Court, this song sticks out a lot more and I love that

The first time Crybaby discovered her power was probably like: 👁👄👁 U👄U ⚫👄⚫

*this fits perfect in this moments.*

She's really good at dancin' and singing PERFECT😍❤️

Unpopular opinion- The Principal is the best song on K-12

Principal:Fires Trans Teacher Melanie Martinez:I’m literally about to end this mans whole life

I love this song so much. It’s titled “The Principal” but I also feel like it a word play on “the principle” like morals/values. And I know she wrote this about Trump, but I also see it against career politicians who are in power and refuse to make changes that can help the people.

0:43 "Fode" ( it translates do "fuck") MARTINEZ, Melanie 2019

I can't believe we're living this again

The choreo is so addicting i literally memorized the whole thing i love it

Listening her voice is like eating candy - Wow so many likes thx

I swear Melanie makes me feel like a strong independent woman

and now the principal is back.

omg 1 year, happy birthday the principal

Someone: You cant make a horror music album that discusses real world issues with pastel colors. Melanie: Hold my Orange Juice.

Melanie: low key pulls of anything her hairstyles her outfits her aesthetic me: looks like trash when I try to look put together

At least ill never have to hear his name again in 4 years

omg her little dimple when she talks is adorable 🥺

Who wants the official music video for Detention ✋

This song is VERY underrated. Edit: I red the replies and yes high school sweethearts, recess are Also very underrated.

The history book on the shelf, is always repeating it self

She literally predicted the future

Melanie's got the 99% percent of talent in world. She dance She sing She act She beautiful She design

1:50 that "excuse me, how much are you are earning?" is so gooooooood

I can’t believe we’re reliving 2016-2020 again 🤦🏻‍♀️

Melanie: Made a movie that took years, lots of money, hard work, and put it on KZbin for free, is a director, producer, costume designer, actor, singer, dancer, song writer, artist. Also Melanie: *only has 11 million subscribers*

no one: Melanie: Comments: 👉👉👈👇🤙🖖💪🦶🦵👊🤝🤛🤜🖕 edit: I’m not ‘begging’ for likes...I’m just saying most of the comments are just like this ok lol k bye have a good day

it hurts bcs this is currently happening in the Philippines right now...

Who’s noticed that Melanie tattoos are covered

Which character from K-12 are you based on the last number of likes. 0. Kelly 1. The principal 2. Ben 3. Mrs. Daphne 4. Fellipe 5. Angelita 6. Lilith 7. Cry baby 8. Celeste 9. Fleur

“If you’re not teaching were not learning” Principal: *no shi sherlock*

Melanie I know you probably won’t ever see this comment but I’ve learned all of your dances to all the k-12 songs and I cherish your music so much. You are so smart and kind hearted and your so different from any other musician because you care and talk about very important subjects and still manage to multitask difficult things. You built your carrier and that is so incredible and inspiring to me, your music makes me so happy and I’m looking forward to your next two films. I wish I was able to see you in real life but I’m afraid that’s not really possible. Love you and your work, and I hope this comment makes you smile then never before because you make me want to build this type of carrier on my own to. Your independence makes me still think I can do it, and if I ever become a famous singer I’m giving all the credits to you. Because the whole reason I sing and dance and preform on stages and have that strong confidence is because of you. You helped me become what I am now, and one day I hope to become even more. I wish to see you one day because I would be honored to be in the presents of someone like you. I don’t recognize you for your fame like others, I recognize the time and effort you out into your work and that inspires me to do the same. Thank you for everything you’ve helped me achieve, I honestly think it’s amazing you’ve helped me over a screen. Sincerely, Your Greatest Fan.

Hairdresser: black or blonde? Melanie Martinez: Yes! *she kills it*

She pretty She match But most importantly She attack the Donald Quack

Who is better Like- Melanie Martinez Comment- Melanie Martinez

the fact this is relevant again

“Shooting at the angels while claiming your a good guy” *Satan Liked that*

Moral of the story: if you're transphobic, a predator or a cheater, you have chosen death.

0:21 This part is so satisfying Honestly love the bobbing, it’s so flawless

*Unpopular Opinion:* This Is One Of The Best Songs On The Album.

last time i was this early melanie didnt have the best album of 2019

All Melanie old fans(like me,lol): SHE’S SO CUTIEEE Some tik tokers who use this song: *WhO is MeLaniE MaRtInEz?!*

I dont know why, but my favorite part is when she's singing "killing kids all day and night, prescription pills and online fights" Melanie is really good at expressing messages through her music, and K-12 is awesome. Almost all of the songs are my favorites, but wheels on the bus is my absolute favorite. I can't wait for Afterschool to come out, but I mostly hope Melanie is doing ok during Corona.

“I tried to make you listen but you want it your way, right? Killing kids all day and night” “Shooting at the angels while claiming you’re the good guy” Every year, the cycle repeats. Every year, the structure and operation of the government ensures that these lyrics stay relevant. Here we are, in the wake of two more tragedies, and they still ring true. I hope things actually change this time.

This song hits different After George floyd's death and anonymus' return

Objetivo: llegar primero Obstáculo: personas con Internet de la NASA :v

Is it just me or is this song, teachers pet, class fight, and recess under rated🤷🏻‍♀️

PLAYING THIS 200% ON BLAST

This song hits so hard, I can't stop listening. It embodies so well all the anger and frustration at the people up top whose soullessness and selfishness screws over the rest of us, when it's us they're supposed to be there to help and care about in the first place. Plus Melanie's moves are so fierce and graceful, girl is a phenomenal dancer!

Me: I want magic powers Also me: *buys* *black* *contact* *lences* Also me again: 👁👄👁 U👄U ⚫️👄⚫️ (Edit: thanks for the likes ⚫️👅⚫️) (Edit 2: Omfg I have 1k likes 👁👄👁 oh shoot lost my flipping powers) (Edit 3: thanks for 1.3k likes oh btw I have my powers back ⚫️👄🌑)

os assuntos que ela aborda são tão necessários, ela demonstra isso de uma forma tão bela, impecável, melanie é incrível, corajosa e faz uma arte muito especial.💖💜🩷

Melanie: ** calls the principal ** - principal picks up the phone - Melanie: starts singing Principal: u done?

persona: no existe la perfección. melanie martinez nace. persona: okey si existe.

Karen’s : let me talk to your manager Melanie : let me talk to the principal

Cry baby don't leave me here take me to the afterlife with you omg

pessoa: não existe alguém perfeito *melanie martinez nasce* pessoa: okay existe sim

She got three detentions in songs 1. The principal 2. Show and tell 3. Detention

This is how many people want the detention music video ⬇️

The principal talks about greed and unfairness between higher and lower people. I can't count how much love I have for melanie because its countless, I just love her.

someone play this outside the white house immediately

i love how she has dancers of different race and body types.. she treats everyone like an equal its beautiful

Can we all agree that this is one of the best albums of 2019

this song was made so long ago yet lots of people still listen to it. I listen to Mel's songs every day and whenever im sad, her songs always make me feel better. We love you Mel.

ok but Melanie should be president. MELANIE 2020!!!

Essa só os Brasileiros vão entender: FODE

*Who else loves Melanie’s hair and her AMAZING outfits?❤️* 👇🏽

Anyone here after the election results? :( 😭

The voice: you lose Melanie I sorry Melanie Martinez: *oh well I'll just become successful* Me: *makes a Melanie martinez poster for myself* YOU MY LADY ARE BEAUTIFUL

“what did you do at school today hun?” “oh you know, just murdered my principal and ripped him up limb by limb.”

Billie: big sister Crybaby: little sister lady gaga: mother Me :this is a nice a family

I just love watching the Bustle (thing that holds the dress up) bounce, as it feels so flowy and it just calms me seeing how perfect and seamlessly it bounces and moves.

Leo: Do you think you can kill my father and run away? Magnolia: Yes ?

TE AMO MINHA DEUSA Q NUNCA VAI SABER Q EU EXISTO, EU AMO SUAS MÚSICAS, OUÇO ELAS TODAS AS TARDES E MADRUGADAS TE AMO PORRA LINDA PETFEITA NUNCA ERROU, SUAS MÚSICAS ME AJUDAM MUITO, SAIBA DISSO ♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎
