In an interview with Def Jam dude Rick Ruben, Iggy Pop said it was about seeing a girl lying on her back watching their show like she was watching TV, and how he "liked the CBS logo".
In the Legs McNeil book, Kathy Asheton (Ron and Scott's sister) said it was her and her girlfriend's term for when a guy was eyeing them. Literally, "Twat Vibe Eye". "He's got a TV Eye on you". She claims Jim/Iggy overheard them and thought it was funny.
But who knows? Maybe Iggy was just fucking wasted and babbling, and someone said "Oh I like that TV Eye song". 'Whu? oh okay oh yeah yeah TV eye, sure"
