Ozzy Osbourne And Lita Ford – Close My Eyes Forever
Eivør & Danish National Symphony Orchestra – Trøllabundin
An evening pause: Performed live 2023 as part of a concert dubbed, “Viking.” From the comments on the webpage:
Trøllabundin means spellbound. In the viking age, ‘Galder’ was a kind of magic song that was used in seiðr (magic/witchcraft) practiced by mainly women, and to ‘galdra’ was to affect something by magic singing.

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.

Edgar Winter Group – Frankenstein
Riccardo Cocchi & Yulia Zagoruychenko – 2018 Fred Astaire Cup Latin dance competition
An evening pause: The camera soon focuses on this couple, whose performance eventually won the competition, which apparently was their tenth victory. As noted in the comments, “You don’t understand exactly how great they are until you see them in a roomful of other people dancing the same dance.”
