Tush (ZZ Top song)

"Tush"
Song

"Tush" was the only single from ZZ Top's fourth album Fandango!. It reached number 20 on the pop chart.

The song's name rhymes with "rush" not "bush" (as is evident in Dusty Hill's pronunciation) and is synonymous with the Texas slang "tush" meaning "Good enough". According to Billy Gibbons, they would describe something as either "tush", "plush", or "primo". Tush meant good enough, plush was pretty good and primo was excellent.

The song is a classical 12-bar blues in the key of G major and is played with an open G6 tuning.

It is also one of the ZZ Top songs on Fandango! sung by bassist Dusty Hill, the others being "Jailhouse Rock", "Balinese", and "Heard It on the X" (on which he and guitarist Billy Gibbons trade off vocals).
