You know you’ve seen this: Hoboken Lepre-con Harlem Shake!

Hoboken411 reader TJ wanted to share this Harlem Shake video that took place during the Hoboken Leprecon “festivities” from this past weekend.

They were enjoying a civil house party downtown at the SkyClub during the “big event,” and luckily the Hoboken Lepre-con 2013 Police Blotter had no complaints that were filed against the shin-dig in that building (from what we heard at least!)

In case you didn’t know – the Harlem Shake is a YouTube phenomenon… inspiring thousands of “knock-off” videos that try to imitate the original (I know the feeling…)

The Harlem Shake is a dance move that originated in the early 80′s, but was brought back into the spotlight by musical artist Baauer with his song of the same name last year.

Here for your viewing pleasure is the Hoboken Lepre-Con Harlem Shake video. Your thoughts?

Bet Hoboken parents don’t find this George Carlin skit funny

A bunch of people have sent me links to the following George Carlin video about parents and “child worship.”

The man spoke the truth about this and a whole lot of other important things in life.

One reader summed it up: “If anything says “Hoboken,” then this is IT!” If only Carlin was alive to see how things have progressed since! It certainly plays into our earlier story about how now kids are chauffeured around Hoboken in luxury SUV’s with plush leather appointments and heated seats.

Empire State Building upgrades LED lights – Hoboken enjoys

In case you were looking at the Empire State Building last night around 9pm (and not at your TV), they launched their new upgraded LED brainwashing light display.

Apparently synced with a few radio stations, who played Alicia Keys song “Girl on Fire.”

(h/t Jennifer for the tip!)

Hoboken UPS driver video in Hurricane Sandy goes viral

Hoboken resident Michael Sober made some top video hits during Hurricane Sandy. First with that great Scenes from hurricane Sandy movie – and also with this great short clip, which has nearly 100k views already:

Hurricane Sandy can’t stop UPS delivery

“UPS Driver John Adamowicz has been with UPS since 1990 and has driven the same route in Hoboken, New Jersey for 19 years.”

I think it’s great that he tried delivering as much as he could before it was impossible. Hopefully he didn’t cause too much wake!

Uplifting video after Hurricane Sandy: “It’s Hoboken” by Ryan Shibley

Late this past summer, Hoboken resident, actor and comedian Ryan Shibley planned and filmed a fun project called “It’s Hoboken,” which is a music video sung to the tune of “Mr. Wendel” – and highlights some of the aspects that make our city so great.

With all the grief and suffering we’ve been soaked in for the past couple weeks with Hurricane Sandy and Snowstorm Athena – this may be the perfect recipe before kicking off this weekend.

Enjoy!

Ryan had this to say about it:

“The classic music video all about the great aspects of Hoboken, New Jersey has hit the web with great reviews! This music video production combines all costs related to renting out recording studio time to record the song, paying someone to film and edit the music video for me, and purchasing wardrobe (Hoboken T-shirts), props and food for the day of the shoot. I have produced all of our sketches and comedic music videos along with my comedy group, but this project falls all on my shoulders since I’m the driving force behind it.

It is a project that is very dear to my heart and a tribute to everything great about Hoboken.”
