Somehow Dokken has been playing the soundtrack to my life. I realized the other week that when certain events happen, the appropriate Dokken song starts playing in my head. At first I thought that maybe I was responsible for this somehow, but then there was last night…
We started a new rule that Jacob isn’t allowed to come into our bed until either the sun or Brian is up. Well, last night, he sauntered in around 3AM. Brian made him go back to his own bed. Jake started crying and the song “Heartless Heart” started playing in my head. I kid you not. Being it was 3AM, I wasn’t exactly thinking “what Dokken song would be appropriate for this moment?” It just started up on its own. I think this may be some kind of disorder in need of possible psychiatric intervention.
The weird thing is that I was never a huge Dokken fan. I mean I liked them around 15-20 years ago, but they weren’t exactly one of my favorites. If anything, you’d think I’d be hearing Whitesnake songs in my head. If there was one band I listened to, to death, it was them. “Still of the Night” was on my mix tape for like 10 years! Yeah, 10 years. And I still like it. And any mention of Whitesnake to this day tickles me beyond all comprehension. They’ve had a running joke on Joey about Whitesnake and it just makes me like the show more.
But, enough about Whitesnake. If anyone has a cure for my Dokken issue, please send it my way.
