1. Peacock
The reason I’ve selected this song as Katy Perry’s best is because of it’s catchy upbeat tempo and humor. If you haven’t heard this song yet, that’s probably because it’s hard to play on the radio. ‘Peacock’ is actually a clever play on words, similar to Britney Speaks “If U Seek Amy”. This song is definitely not suitable for young children, but those who will understand the lyrics will find it very comical.
Between the lyrics, word play, and tempo, this song is unique. Anyone who listens to Katy Perry will love hearing this song.
