Where were you 6 pages ago when it was being described as a B list scrub that was predisposed to being a minor hit?

I remember driving home from Century III Mall in West Mifflin, PA the day after Tango was released. I was driving home listening the cassette in the car. The first time I heard the song, I was puzzled why it was not the lead single from the album.
In the mid to late 80s, the singles were always first track side two or one. It was given the prime location to spring from on the album.
The band has always alternated the lead single from an album between Chris and Lindsey. Since Chris had the lead single off Mirage, it was Lindsey's turn. Since the creation of Tango was Tusk like with the bulk of work from Lindsey, I see why he got the lead off just like on Tusk.
