It is a dreary day here in the Greater Boston Area, reminiscent of the dark days of winter.... I hope to change that feeling by ROCKING YOUR WORLD by sharing an awesome song/dance performed by the absolutely awesome Fleetwood Mac titled simply "TUSK"! This is on stage, but was played as part of a University of Southern California (USC) Half-Time show... This is sort of a replay, but it will get your blood pumping!!!
BACKGROUND BIO:
Tusk is the twelfth studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released as a double album on 12 October 1979. It is considered more experimental than their previous albums: partly a consequence of Lindsey Buckingham's sparser songwriting arrangements and the influence of post-punk. The production costs were estimated to be over $1 million (equivalent to $3.52 million in 2019), making it the most expensive rock album recorded to that date.
The band embarked on a nine-month tour to promote Tusk. They travelled extensively across the world, including the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Japan, France, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK. In Germany, they shared the bill with Bob Marley. On this world tour, the band recorded music for the Fleetwood Mac Live album released in 1980.
Tusk peaked at number four on the Billboard 200 album chart in the US, but spent less than nine months on the chart. It was certified double platinum for shipping two million copies. It peaked at number one in the UK and achieved a platinum award for shipments in excess of 300,000 copies." Read more at Wikipedia.com
LYRICS:
"Tusk"
Why don't you ask him if he's going to stay?
Why don't you ask him if he's going away?
Why don't you tell me what's going on?
Why don't you tell me who's on the phone?
Why don't you ask him what's going on?
Why don't you ask him who's the latest on his throne?
Don't say that you love me!
Just tell me that you want me!
Tusk! Tusk! Tusk! Tusk!
Tusk! Tusk! Tusk! Tusk!
Tusk! Tusk! Tusk! Tusk!
Tusk! Tusk! Tusk! Tusk!
Tusk!
Writer(s): Lindsey Buckingham
I hope that you thoroughly enjoy it!!!
