"Eye of the Potato" is a Sesame Street song from a season 43 episode.
Elmo, wishing to win a game of Hot Potato against Abby, asks Telly to help him. Telly, claiming to be a master, trains him. The song plays over a montage of Telly and Elmo going through various potato-related workouts (such as lifting a barbell with potatoes in lieu of weights).
The song spoofs "Eye of the Tiger" by Survior, while the montage spoofs that of the Rocky films. "Eye of the Tiger" was used as the theme for Rocky III.
