An extremely LQ version of this has leaked. It's interesting...the chorus sounds like a high school cheerleading chant.

Sounds like a smash. I think it'll be a single too. She always talks about it.
I want her to release "E.T." though.

This sounds really good. We haven't really heard "Teenage Dream" in good yet, but why wasn't this chosen to be the second single?

Katy Perry Premieres 'Peacock' At MTV World Stage
Teenage Dream track is 'the world's biggest innuendo,' Perry tells MTV News.
By James Montgomery
During her Saturday night set on the MTV World Stage in Malaysia, Katy Perry might have surrounded herself with sweets — cupcakes, lollipops, a giant banana split — but she was also in the mood to get a little tarty, too, debuting "Peacock," a bawdy little song from her upcoming Teenage Dream album that's all about, well, check out the last four letters of the song title.
"It's all right. It's just about a bird," Perry joked before launching into the tune, a go-going, call-and-response tune equally indebted to Toni Basil's 1982 hit "Mickey" and the wisdom of bathroom stalls everywhere.
"Come on baby, lemme see/ What you're hiding underneath," she sings at one point. "Are you brave enough to let me see your peacock?/ Don't be a chicken, boy, stop acting like a beeyotch."
Apparently unsatisfied by what she's seen up to this point, Perry adds that she is looking for peacocks of the "jaw-droppin', eye-poppin', head-turnin', body-shockin' " variety.
Back in June, Perry told MTV News that she had added "Peacock" to her album (due August 24) at the last minute, after some rather inspired sessions with Swedish production team Stargate. And despite its late addition, the song has quickly become on of her favorites on Teenage Dream — mostly because of that entendre-riffic title.
"Halfway through the record, I was telling [Capitol Records], 'I've got a lot of jewels, but I don't really have that crown. I really don't have that full-blown presentation,' " she said. "So I wanted to go in with Stargate, and I finished off a couple of songs: one called 'Fireworks,' which is probably my favorite song off the record, something I'm most proud of, and then a song called 'Peacock,' which is like the world's biggest innuendo."

LOL @ Stargate and Ester Dean recycling the "Rude Boy" production for the chorus of this song. This definitely sounds like a smash though.

All they did was use the same synths from "Rude Boy", which can also be heard in "Te Amo". It's not uncommon for producers to use the same synths (see The Neptunes, RedOne and Timbaland).

Are you brave enough to let me see your peacock? ROFLLLL where's that lyrics that make you laugh topic.
This sounds like "Hollaback Girl" meets "Rude Boy." Meh.

I wanted to hate this, but it's so f**king infectious. This should be a single.

I wonder if this will do what Hollaback Girls and My Humps did and start to explode on its own as it gains more buzz.

Perez Hilton is rooting for this to be the 6th single. I think if it was released it would be AT LEAST a Top 10 hit. The radio edit isn't bad either.

This is the biggest hit left on the album. Potential to be huge. Would have been another #1 if it was one of the first four singles, don't know about a sixth though.

She might as well go for it. The worst thing that will happen is it will only go top 5 and sustain album sales.

Yeah, no way she'll get six No. 1 singles. I'd rather see "Hummingbird Heartbeat" get released. Much better song.

Why does anyone give a sh*t what Perez Hilton deems a good single choice? This song is totally ridiculous, but I'm curious to see how it would perform (maybe that's the wrong word given the context  ) at radio. And I agree, the bridge is pure comedy, especially the "I just shed a tear" line. |
