Melanie Martinez - Pity Party Music Video

Melanie Martinez - Pity Party


 


"Pity Party"is a modern take on 1965's "It's My Party" by Leslie Gore. The theme of this song is that Melanie's character "Cry Baby" throws herself a pity party because none of her friends show up to her birthday party. The setting shows multiple vintage plush toys in an old-fashioned house. Conventional party props such cookies, party invitations, a birthday cake, party hats and so on. The idea of this visually being a dysfunctional birthday party however is the the use of juxtaposing props and actions such as Cry Baby dressing up as clown, talking to her imaginary guests, curtains on fire, decapitated toys, smashed cake and angry facial expressions.
