Andrew W.K.: Hoboken Toffee

11/20/2009:

Have any of you heard this “Hoboken” song?

Hoboken Toffee

Hoboken411 reader Brendan said:
“I thought your readers might enjoy this new (I think) song ‘Hoboken Toffee’ by Andrew W.K. I first heard the song a few weeks ago as the DJ at Rogo’s has chosen it for a kind of last call song.

(Click the play button to hear the song in question)

I don’t know much about the artist Andrew WK. From what I was able to gather on the internet it sounds like most of his other music is much more punk/heavy metal. but enjoyed the piano and references to both New York City and Hoboken. I would be interested if any of your readers have heard him or seen him perform possible at Maxwell’s and even more interested if anyone knew what the heck ‘Hoboken Toffee’ actual is.”

here is another tune with a lot of hoboken references – written by former hoboken resident scott moore – the guy who ran the writer’s hang at the goldhawk. about the day frank sinatra died

What the hell is Hoboken toffee? I do so appreciate a good piece of it (if it’s the candy we’re speaking of). Where do I get this legendary toffee?

Forget the toffee, how bout some Mac n Cheese from Pizza Republic or some RB and Mutz from Comfort Food? If anyone knows Mr WK, please email him and have him rewrite the song with the above mentioned delicious yummies , thanks
