The other half is an inside joke (the band had started to refer to a penis as a "tusk" after seeing a phallic-shaped elephant tusk while on tour).
It's all set to the USC Trojan Marching Band playing in an empty Dodger Stadium. Why? Why not? Fleetwood Mac were the biggest band in the world, and they weren't going to rest on their laurels...at least Buckingham wasn't. He was going to push the envelope and see what they could do. The album itself is brilliant, but what amazes me even more is that this song, as bizarre and surreal as it is, was actually a Top 10 hit late in 1979.
Half of the song is cocaine paranoia.
