Discussion

"Also, eww" implies that Megan has taken a scatological interpretation of "brown-thighed girl". JET73L (talk) 12:22, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

The song was originally "Brown-Skinned Girl", so the last panel is even funnier (albeit unintentionally). 108.162.219.187 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~) Weird how he says "She's" when the lyrics are "You my brown-eyed girl". 162.158.78.64 16:21, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

My wife and I started riffing on this comic last night with various songs, and ended up laughing too hard to continue. My favorite was from Total Eclipse of the Heart with "Turn around, bright thighs" -- [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]]) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
