The title text mentions that Cueball is actually playing "{{w|Under Pressure}}" ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a01QQZyl-_I video]), the 1981 hit song by {{w|Queen (band)|Queen}} and {{w|David Bowie}}, but Megan has confused it with "Ice Ice Baby," which samples the bassline and piano motif from "Under Pressure." It also may be that Cueball is having trouble holding the boombox, hence Cueball being 'under pressure.' | The title text mentions that Cueball is actually playing "{{w|Under Pressure}}" ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a01QQZyl-_I video]), the 1981 hit song by {{w|Queen (band)|Queen}} and {{w|David Bowie}}, but Megan has confused it with "Ice Ice Baby," which samples the bassline and piano motif from "Under Pressure."
