I once read this review of Katy's Part Of Me (song) dragging her robot vocals during the bridge and now that's all I can hear
Katy's trinity of trash:
Part Of Me
Unconditionally
Firework
Quote:
With each successive single, Perry’s lack of charm/skill/talent and her producers’ limited bag of tricks wears more painfully and creatively threadbare. “Part of Me” is not much worse or better than “The One That Got Away” which was not much worse or better than “Last Friday Night” and all of them are songs to suffer, not celebrate; music not quite terrible enough to actively hate but thick with unimaginative melodies, dopey lyrics and monotune banality. This, moreso even than All-American Rejects, is the real enemy for me: the lowest common denominator writ large, writ boring.

At that, it's hard to imagine a song crasser or more aggravating than "Peacock." Every review of Teenage Dream will mention this track, and that's because it's potentially historic in its badness, to the point that, once you've heard it, you too will have to describe it to other people just to convince yourself that it really exists. The short of it is that Perry wants to see some guy's peacock, and by peacock, she, of course, means penis; she says the word "****" somewhere around 100 times, and the only thing she successfully rhymes it with is "****" (some of the misses include "biatch," "payoff," and "shoot it off"). It's one of those viscerally embarrassing musical moments where you start to feel ashamed of yourself just for witnessing it, like Fergie rapping on "My Humps," or that YouTube video where Fergie pees herself on stage, or Fergie misspelling "tasty" ("T to the A to the S-T-E-Y") in "Fergalicious."
