This is a rockabilly-style song that reflected the simpler rock n' roll that Lennon loved as a teenager. John was even able to work in the standard rockabilly line, "Weeeheeellll."
The title was a joke on the lyrics that start out saying various things were "tight as..." then later in the song became the slang term, "tight ass."
