I never saw Matilda the Musical but I did see the movie Matilda, and I had a lingering idea of who Miss Trunchbull going in, so I thought I knew what to expect going in. As far as the character herself, that was accurate. Trunchbull is the headmistress who just really hates children, and while that's a pretty simple concept that's appeared in TONS of kids media (Crocker in Fairly Odd Parents, Snape and Umbridge in Harry Potter, Krupp in Captain Underpants) but this song goes hard on the exceeding lengths Trunchbull will go to to be a godawful teacher. Like she REALLY, REALLY hates these kids. What I wasn't expecting was the impressive vocal talent of Trunchbull in this song, with the rapid-fire wordplay really being the main appeal of the song.
