Didn’t the gays already surrender their summer to “California Gurls”? And now Katy Perry already wants to script another anthem for the queers?
“Peacock” is the upcoming single from the generally intolerable Perry, and she performed it for the first time in Malaysia over the weekend at the 2010 MTV World Stage show. And it’s the song she said she hopes “will be a gay-pride anthem. Peacocks represent a lot of individuality…. It’s not just like, ‘I wanna see your bulge.’ … It does have the word c–k in it, but art is also in fart! It’s all in how you look at it.”

everything about her is so … ugh.
and why would i *want* someone to “melt my popsicle,” anyway? that just sounds disfiguring and creepy.

What an odd thing to say.

Uh, “Let me see your peacock” as in give be a sneak peak of your cock, yeah I sure want that to be MY anthem.
The Moves’ “Revolution Bound” sounds more appropiate to be an Anthem for our movement for equality over Katy’s song any day. Katy’s “Peacock” continues the misconception that we are just all about sex that is if she’s serious about it being our anthem.

Oh why are all mainstream songs about sex? Where has creativity gone?

Katy Perry amuses me, lmao. Her songs may not have a ton of substance to them, but I find them fun.

Love Katy. She’s fun. Lyrics dont have to be ‘serious’ all the time. We have artists like John Legend for that.
All u pressed queens need sit down somewhere.

Less talented, less artistic, less fashionable Lady Gaga. She’s like the Corporate Music makers wanted a Ke$ha/Gaga mix (god forbid) and came out with this.

This innuendo game is getting rediculous. It was actually really brash but also kinda sexy with Love game and I think the sheer brazeness really helped to bring together what the song was about. Then came rudeboy and I was much less impressed, seeing as it was less quirky and inventive and also forward to the point of not being clever. And this actually has the word cock in it, which just kinda misses the point entirely. We can’t say shit in a song but you can ask to see someone’s dick on daytime radio? This whole situation’s getting abit stupid to be honest.

I think dear Katy is trying to prove how much of a serial attention whore she is. She’s either slightly off kilter or trumpeting through her tampon.

Ugh, Katy, no. You can’t proclaim a song a gay anthem. It has to be made into one. Culture doesn’t work that way…well, okay, corporate culture does.
Also, I agree 100% with Wyatt. Shallow, vapid, uninspired music.

@Shaun Azzopardi: Quick – Google “Florence and the Machine.”
