"Tusk," which is featured prominently and often in the première of FX's The Americans... is a work of strange savagery, overlaid with jungle sounds and a thudding, endlessly repetitive drum riff that drives everything that happens in the song.
"Tusk" is a song by Fleetwood Mac from the 1979 double LP of the same name. The song reached #8 on the U.S. charts, #6 in the U.K. and #3 in Australia and Canada. It was one of the first songs to be released using a digital mixdown from an original analog source.
The song went platinum in 1979 and again in 1997 on a live album, making USC the only university to have two platinum albums. The marching band also performed the song on Solid Gold in 1980, interspersed with footage from the official music video.
In the late 2000s, Fleetwood Mac reunited with the USC band to play Tusk live.
Tusk is still in rotation by USC's Marching Band and Concert Band and has been performed by many other collegiate bands.
