While the lyrics seem to imply sexual innuendo or double entendre, the liner notes for the band's 1992 ''Greatest Hits (ZZ Top album), Greatest Hits'' album added that "'tube snake' is [also] gnarly lingo for a surfboard, or 'boogie board.' Either way, it's good clean fun." The song was produced by Bill Ham, and recorded and mixed by Terry Manning. ''Record World'' said that "Frank Beard's jungle drums on the intro are ample warning that the energetic trio is ready to boogie" and noted the "virtuoso guitar work and gritty vocal."
