Song tags are a form of file {{w|metadata}} used to categorize music. Tags will typically describe the content and genre of the song, and many music organization programs and services will allow users to find all songs that contain a particular tag; so when a user searches for "Country breakup music," they will receive a list of {{w|Country music|country}} songs about breaking up. | Song tags are a form of file {{w|metadata}} used to categorize music.

A {{w|lesbian}} is a woman who is only romantically interested in other women. {{w|Voyeurism}} is the act of watching someone else do something sexual, generally without their knowledge. A {{w|one-hit wonder}} is a band that had "one big hit" before fading from the public eye forever. A {{w|Mashup (music)|mash-up}} is when someone takes two previously unrelated songs and makes a third song that's a mix of both of them (a recent example of which would be [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82LCKBdjywQ this Gangam Style/Ghostbusters theme mashup]). In response, Megan almost immediately replies with two song titles that look like they would fit the tags well. |

The second title, "When You Come on Eileen I Touch Myself" is a ''mash-up'' of {{w|Come On Eileen|"Come on Eileen"}} by {{w|Dexy's Midnight Runners}}, and {{w|I Touch Myself|"I Touch Myself"}} by {{w|Divinyls}}. Note that "Come on, Eileen" means "Hurry up, Eileen", and that "to come on someone" means to ejaculate on someone. |

[[Randall]] borrowed the rhyme scheme, phrasing, and subject matter from the first eight stanzas of {{w|I Touch Myself|"I Touch Myself"}} with additional subject matter inspired by {{w|Come On Eileen|"Come on Eileen."}} The final stanza is the chorus lead-in from the latter. |
