I haven't heard it. But I think it'll be a hit. Remember, "I Kissed a Girl" wasn't the most subtle song in the world either.

That's not going to fly, DJ. This board is pretty liberal when it comes to what is okay and not okay to post. I will admit that I myself have posted some very borderline stuff here, but I don't go as far as posting porn. The fact that the peacocks are there doesn't exactly make it "okay". So if it's not too much to ask, can you not post that kind of thing? I see the humor in it, but it has no place here. What? How on earth is Joel allowed to post explicit sigs and avatars? And don't you dare say they are okay because they are "art" He recently had a thing in his signature that was from that Youtube joke rap video which featured an almost bare naked ass what I posted was completely censored and only showed a guys chest. Next time I see ANYTHING explicit from Joel, I will post the picture again.

Katy Perry isn't exactly the queen of nuance. In her "California Gurls" video she appeared wearing a bra that squirted whipped cream. Oh yeah, she was also naked. So on the cheerleader anthem off Teenage Dream, when she asks her dude to show her his peacock, she doesn't mean his brightly colored feathers, if you know what we mean.
What "Mickey" did for unrequited love, Perry is certainly trying to do for harassing dudes into showing you their, um, peacocks. But don't get her wrong: The whole idea, when writing the track, was to have fun with words. "Halfway through the record, I was saying to [the people I work with], 'Look I've got a lot of jewels, but I really don't have the crown. I really don't have that full-blown presentation,' " Perry recalled.
So what's a girl to do? Perry decided to hit the studio again and make magic happen. "I wanted to go in with [producer] Stargate and I finished off with a couple of songs. One song called 'Firework,' which is probably my favorite song off the record, like something I'm most proud of, and then a song called 'Peacock,' which is just like, it's like the world's biggest innuendo."
Well, it's a bit more than innuendo. Take away the "pea" and you have one of the song's most obvious references to male genitalia. "With me there are a lot of double entendres," she said. "There's a lot of puns. You know, when I learned how to write a song, the person that was kind of teaching me was an amazing songwriter, and he was like, 'Don't forget about the double entendres. Don't forget about the puns. Don't forget that one word can have two meanings.' So I'm always kind of looking for that one thing that's really normal that you can make twisted."

Trust, it's gonna be a guilty pleasure at least haha The only part of the song that I like is the bridge when she says "I just shed a tear" because it holds a level of charm and comedic timing that is for the most part just spot on. But I find the verses to be dreadful and the chorus is more annoying with each listen. It very well could be a huge hit, but that doesn't take away from it's lack of quality.

The guys who did California Gays made a video for this I can appreciate them trying to take things to the next level, but it seems like it was too much, too soon, and a bit too sloppy. I like some parts though like the intro and the unveiling of a real I'm sure Joel and DJ will love this video though
