So what happened? Why isn&#8217;t she Mrs. Hulkster today?<span id=\"more-186505\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Parton wrote and recorded a song called &#8216;Headlock on My Heart&#8217; for a mid-&#8217;80s variety show. The spoof song &#8211;no recorded version exists as far as we can tell&#8211; includes lyrics like: &#8220;<em>He&#8217;s got a headlock on my heart \/ It was a take down from the start<\/em>&#8221; and &#8220;<em>I love the heart that beats beneath his massive golden ches<\/em>t&#8221; before spoken word gems like:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>I guess you could say he&#8217;s pinned me down for a lifetime<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Even better than the pun-filled verses and chorus is Hogan&#8217;s name in the video. The WWF (as it was known then) must not have approved of the Hulk appearing, so Parton names him &#8220;Starlight Starbright.&#8221; Andre the Giant would not have feared Starlight Starbright &#8211;this much is certain.<\/p>\n<p>Take a moment to watch this retro-ridiculousness before reading about another vintage country moment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/tasteofcountry.com\/rest\/carbon\/api\/scripts.js?mver=69&#038;gver=6&#038;bid=204&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fbtloader.com%2Ftag%3Fo%3D5642230212591616%26upapi%3Dtrue&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.p-n.io%2Fpushly-sdk.min.js%3Fdomain_key%3DGbJ4PR9JZzdxdLXzJnfIG9ZgkXSFQNevIcIY&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Ftownsquare.media%2Fpublic%2Fresources%2Fjs%2Fpubcid.min.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fplatform.twitter.com%2Fwidgets.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fapis.google.com%2Fjs%2Fplatform.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.facebook.net%2Fen_US%2Fsdk.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.pinterest.com%2Fjs%2Fpinit.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer data-osano=\"ESSENTIAL\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/tasteofcountry.com\/remember-when-dolly-parton-married-hulk-hogan\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The proof is in the picture.
