Melanie
Martinez got her fame after being a part of Team Adam as a
contestant on The Voice in 2014. Though she didnt win, she was
signed by Atlantic Records releasing the first part to her album
Cry Baby in August of 2015. It wasnt until November of 2016 that
Cry Baby was finished after adding a few more songs, including
Mrs.
PotatoHead,
Melanies favorite song. Her music can best be described as dark
and honest; specifically, the song itself and the music video to
Mrs. Potato Head addresses how societys idea of pretty affects
women. At first, the song sounds silly, but when you sit down and
really listen to the lyrics, you start to make sense of Melanies
metaphors and symbolism. The title of the song, Mrs. Potato Head,
refers to plastic
surgery. The
song was named after the popular toy invented in the 1950s,
Mr. Potato
Head. Potato Heads consisted of a plastic model of a potato

Potato Head
begins with an appeal to emotions; Melanie as a little girl in the
60s watching commercials about how diet pills and blond hair make
girls pretty. This especially reaches the emotions of girls and
women, because growing up, girls are mean. At some point or another
everyone has wanted to fit in and was willing to be whoever they
needed to be for others to like them. This is further exemplified
as Melanie changes the channel to a show with a man in a woman, who
she intends to be Mrs. And Mr. Potato Head. The man adores the
women, but he then makes her an appointment to see a plastic
surgeon. There is a bit of foreshadowing in the fact that the
appointment slip is dated for October 31, Halloween. After the
surgery, Mr. Potato Head goes into her room to take the bandages
off only to find out that the surgery had gone wrong, and Mrs.
Potato Head isnt as beautiful as he imagined her to be. She later
looks out the window to find that he is cheating on her with a girl
that is young and beautiful and looks like she did before
