This woman gives a chicken toy to this donkey. He loves it, brays with utters of joy, & funnily plays with it. No innocent being stays indifferent to love.pic.twitter.com/7jCzHa4UZP

Elvis Presley – Burning Love
An evening pause: Taken from the album Viva Elvis, which is the soundtrack remix of Presley’s Cirque du Soleil show. From the youtube webpage:
Viva Elvis features new backing instrumentation on each track in an attempt to modernize the arrangements. This has met with a mixed critical response, with some reviewers praising the production quality and others opining that Elvis’s music is best left untampered with.
