In each panel, [[Cueball]] sings a verse from a different song where he replaces the word "eye" with the word "thigh." First it is {{w|Survivor (band)|Survivor's}} "{{w|Eye of the Tiger}}," then {{w|Dean Martin's}} "{{w|That's Amore}}," and finally {{w|Van Morrison's}} "{{w|Brown Eyed Girl}}."

The comic shows how vastly different each song's meaning becomes when "eye" is replaced with "thigh." In the last panel, Cueball's version makes [[Megan]] go "eww," and she asks him if he doesn't have a job he should be doing instead. The eww refers to the fact that the brown-eyed girl turns into a brown-thighed girl, and such colored thighs could be eminently possible via an act of poor defecation on oneself, hence the disgust reaction from Megan.

In the title text, it seems that Cueball continues with a reference to the first line of {{w|The Battle Hymn of the Republic}}, adding to the humorous effect, since typically thighs cannot see. But mainly it is a sexual joke playing on the double meaning of "{{w|Ejaculation|coming}}".

In [[1814: Color Pattern]], [[Randall]] makes his own version of "That's Amore," this time letting Megan sing it to Cueball.
