Sputnikmusic said that "I would also place money on “Peacock” never seeing the light of day, primarily because it’s a terrible song with a double entendre so blunt it would make Ke$ha blush but also because it doesn’t exactly flatter Ms. Perry the lyricist (I’m almost 100% certain “cock” cannot rhyme with “biotch” or “payoff,” ever). [1]
{{editsemiprotected}} in the critical reception section add these reviews:
Drowned in Sound said that " ‘Peacock’. It sounds a hell of a lot like ‘Mickey’ by Toni Basil and features the refrain “I want to see you peacock”. This may seem pointless written down, but what Katy does is repeat the last syllable of the line so that it sounds like she is saying the word “cock”. But she isn’t. She is saying, “peacock”. Do you see what she did there? Can you imagine anything so wacky, so edgy as that? It seems that a pop star has written a song about wanting to see a man’s penis. It is probably about Russell Brand’s penis. I, for one, am shocked. I would put very good money on it being released as a single. It’s just a shame that there are no animal names that end with –ina, otherwise there could be a great response song to be made". [1]
NOW Magazine said that "Those two qualities [Perry's sex appeal and goofy, self-effacing charm] are out of balance for most of the album, resulting in awkward jams like E.T. (Futuristic Lover) and Peacock, , four jarring minutes of Perry demanding to see a guy’s penis – whoops, I mean “peacock” – in the cheerleading style of Toni Basil and Gwen Stefani. To some, this amounts to more of a teenage nightmare". [2]
The Hartford Courant said that "Unfortunately, things get even dumber: "Peacock," a sing-songy number with a clattering beat, is basically just an excuse to repeat the word's second syllable in what has to be the clumsiest attempt at a double-entendre since, well, maybe ever. Also, rhyming "peacock" with "bee-otch?" Meh". [3]
Pop Matters said that "Peacock is a noble attempt to empower a nation of men who are embarrassed of their packages, but that Toni Basil-inspired cheer-squad chant (“I want to see your peakcock-cock-cock”) is a nadir on an album with plenty of them". [4]
Dotmusic said that "The most first-gnawing on ‘Peackock', a tacky, ‘Hey Mickey'-styled eurobeat worship of all things phallic. Perry spends three minutes telling us how she wants to see "it", with all "its" strange colours - "I'm intrigued to see a peek"; "I wanna see your peacock-cock-cock." Only Flo-Rida has come this close to depicting willies so vividly". [5]
The Onion A.V. Club said that "assuming that everything here is based on real life also means we have to accept that some guy’s junk was so beautiful that the sight of it made her cry (“Peacock,” Perry’s attempt at a “Hollaback Girl”). Then again, a little suspension of disbelief and a willingness to let playfulness dominate are necessary when listening to Katy Perry". [6]
The Washington Post said that "Peacock" a tune that comes stomping out of the same pep rally that birthed Toni Basil's "Hey Mickey" and Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl." The chorus is an earworm of the highest order, and includes a crude double-entendre where Perry propositions a lover, threatening to "peace out" if he doesn't deliver the goods. You'll be singing along as soon as you unclench your teeth". [7] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.95.103.157 ( talk) 17:03, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
