In the novel, BLAME IT ON HOBOKEN is a (fictional) Sinatra tune sung by four Hoboken, NJ Sinatra impersonators.
It's part of the book's central mystery, which connects the Friends of Frank to the a female Manhattan tour guide's favorite landmark: the graveo of the 19th century poet Enid Hobb.
It's sung on the CD by Sharon. In the book, it's sung by the tour-guide, who steals center-stage at the Friends of Franks to try and get a message to a missing friend.
