It reminds me of the dachshund I grew up with. He would howl along whenever my father played his Boots Randolph saxophone albums. We never did figure out if it was because he liked the music or hated it. He was an outstanding one-dog chorus, though!
That was cruel. When a horse/jackass/mule has its ears back, they are angry. So glad that he was there to keep those folks amused.
Stick that horn up your (jack)Ass.
After reading Mario’s comment, I watched the video again. That donkey has its ears up at least 80% of the time! It’s also noteworthy that it has a HUGE field that it could have escaped into. Not to mention that it allowed physical contact after the “concerto” was over. Whether the donkey enjoyed the trumpet music, or enjoyed trying to drown it out, I’m positive it was a good interaction.
I thought he was digging it! I’m not an ass expert, but when dogs howl in time and babies try to imitate singing, I think they are getting the vibe and trying to share the fun.
He didn’t always have his ears back — sometimes they were straight up — he seemed to be responding in an excited way.
When I run into deer near my beach, I usually hum a little tune (way more gentle than that trumpet, of course) and they usually stand and stare as if mesmerized. But they don’t join me in singing… at least, not so far.
Speaking as an ass woman, I still think this donkey isn’t happy.
I’m making that up. I only know horses, and only nominally, but with a horse (dog, too), ears back is usually a sign of distress/frustration. Maybe he just didn’t like the tune.
The Democratic Party resists and protests Dick Cheney and his music.
That works as well as any explanation. Thankee!
Very funny, Jay!

Well, the guy does resemble Cheney, doesn’t he?
Yes, he does.
Sorry if I wasn’t clear, Jay. I thought your comment was VERY FUNNY! (no irony intended)
Whaddya mean, not cultural? You learned another way to say donkey, didn’t you?
I know a lot of ways to say donkey.

See, that’s how I interpreted it. Ears back is not a good thing.

Maybe I should try it with an ass?

Exodus 20:17
“Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s ass”
That much, I knew about asses.
Even if the neighbor is wearing something very revealing.
Exactly. As Hot Loaf says: No exceptions.
