I guess I would remember Tusk on radios, cause those "different" songs always caught my attention (like Bohemian Rhapsody), but I don't. So I wonder how did the Tusk song fare worldwide.
Just for fun here's the commercial

Yes it was the lead single and was the last single of from the 1970s. Sara was their first single of the 1980s. Come on now. THAT is in Mick's book. I think Sara peaked about Feb 1980.
You hear Sara all the time. But Tusk is a song you never hear. Classic rock stations dont play it. I listen to the 70s channel on Sirus and never hear it either. The only time I hear Tusk is if its a countdown show. Tusk charted one position higher than Sara.
Did you know that Mick promised Stevie would be on the cover of Tusk twirling?
