Melanie Martinez is a puppet on a string in “Show & Tell” video
Melanie Martinez has released a music video for her song “Show & Tell” from her recent album and accompanying full-length film K-12.
The video, filled with creepy themes and pastel colors, was taken directly from the film K-12.

We see Martinez act like a puppet on a string in-front of her classmates who are cheering her on. The video often switches from showing the actual artist and a doll-version of her on strings in a box. While dancing like a doll, Martinez seems horrified to be the star of the show, which fits well with the lyrics of the track.
The class increasingly gets more excited about watching her perform in an almost obsessively creepy way. It ends with her collapsing and the kids throwing around the doll in glee, as if they’re happy they finally sucked everything out of her.
“Show & Tell” is the most-streamed track from K-12, and the album itself peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart.
You can see the video for “Show & Tell” below.
