The song was the only single from their fourth album Fandango!. It was named the 67th best hard rock song of all time by VH1.
"Tush" is a twelve-bar blues in the key of G. The recording was produced by Bill Ham and recorded and mixed by Terry Manning. The title is a double entendre, referring both to slang for buttocks (with the connotation of "a piece of ass"), and slang for "luxurious" or "lavish", according to a 1985 interview with Dusty Hill in Spin magazine.
Lyrics
I been up, I been down
Take my word, my way around
I ain't askin' for much
I said, Lord, take me downtown
I'm just lookin' for some tush
I been bad, I been good
Dallas, Texas, Hollywood
I ain't askin' for much
I said, Lord, take me downtown
I'm just lookin' for some tush
Take me back way back home
Not by myself, not alone
I ain't askin' for much
I said, Lord, take me downtown
I'm just lookin' for some tush
Songwriters: Joe Hill / Frank Beard / Billy Gibbons
