Why did Elvis Presley (the famous American musician from the 1950-1970s who pioneered rock and roll music) say Hunk-A-Hunk-A-Burning love? Love is an abstract concept and thus is not flammable. OSHA or any other safety organization has never designated “Love” as a flammable object. Yeah he was the king alright; KING OF BLATANT FUCKING LIES.
