"Hackensack" sits on Welcome Interstate Managers, the third album from American rock band Fountains of Wayne, which S-Curve Records released on June 10, 2003. Chris Collingwood and Adam Schlesinger wrote it, and John Holbrook mixed it.
It's a deep cut on the record that pushed the band into the mainstream, thanks to the power-pop hit "Stacy's Mom". "Mexican Wine" and "Hey Julie" followed that one out as singles; "Hackensack" never got that push, and rock radio found its way to it anyway.
