    Ticktock (1996) is a novel by Dean Koontz. It is significantly out-of-genre for Koontz: after a typical horror opening, the tone of the plot changes to screwball comedy and the humour increases steadily to the end. The subplot of protagonist Tommy Phan's struggle to reconcile his family's tenacious hold on their Vietnamese roots with his personal desire to be purely American is essential to the plot development.

    Plot summary

    Tommy Phan is a first-generation Vietnamese American in southern California, a successful detective novelist whose greatest ambition is to live the American Dream. The story opens with Tommy getting a new Corvette. He argues with his mother, refusing her offer for dinner. In a fit of rebellion, he eats two cheeseburgers, something his mother dislikes. He meets a blond waitress there (which he will meet later in the story again). His radio quits working during one of these two trips, and in the static are eerie voices.

    Once home, he finds a Rag doll on his front steps, along with a note, written in Vietnamese, which he knew when he was a child but has forgotten in his quest to be a true American. After taking the doll into his study, it soon bursts open to reveal an evil creature who seems intent on killing Tommy. A message is left on his computer screen saying he has until dawn, but what will happen at dawn, Tommy does not know. After fate brings a meeting with Del, a woman who appears to speak somewhat cryptically, they embark on a race to flee the creature. She believes him too quickly, and often has mixed stories for all of her abilities. (At one point she stole a car, saying one minute she hotwired it, and the next that the key was in the ignition.)

    Tick Tock (Lemar song)

    "Tick Tock" is the third single taken from British R&B singer Lemar's third studio album The Truth About Love. The single was confirmed for release by music retailer HMV UK and was released on 19 March 2007.

    "Tick Tock" was Lemar's first release since "Got Me Saying Ooh" to only be released on one CD and subsequently became his first single to fail to make the top forty since the aforementioned "Got Me Saying Ooh", peaking at number forty-five in the UK singles chart. The single version was the Kardinal Beats remix of the song, not the original album version.

    A sample of Color Me Badd's "I Wanna Sex You Up" is used in the Kardinal Beats remix.

    TICK TOCK

    by: Beverley Craven

    She wakes every morning
    with him on her mind
    can't seem to leave the past behind
    She puts on her make-up
    and thinks about life
    and wonders if she's running out of time
    Cos how long until she finds the one
    all the things she's been dreamin' of
    She hears the tick tock
    of her biological clock
    going around and round
    and it's never going to stop
    she sees all her friends
    are having kids and getting married
    but, her life's, her own
    she says there are moments
    her confidence wains
    Sunday afternoons and Christmas days
    but she's a career girl
    who knows her own mind
    she's not prepared to make a compromise
    but how long until she finds the one
    all the things she's been dreamin' of
    She hears the tick tock
    of her biological clock
    going around and round
    and it's never going to stop
    She sees all her friends
    are having kids and getting married
    but, her life's, her own
    Tick tock of her biological clock
    going around and round
    and it's never going to stop
    and she sees all her friends
    are having kids and getting
    Tick-tock of her biological clock
    going around and round
    and it's never going to stop
    and she sees all her friends
    are having kids and getting married
    Tick Tock
