Watch: Phoebe and Lady Gaga sing ‘Smelly Cat’ at ‘Friends’ Reunion
If you’re a Friends fan, then you’re definitely going to love this. Pop singer Lady Gaga and Phoebe ‘spontaneously’ got together at Central Perk to perform their duet version of “Smelly Cat” – and we can’t get enough of it.
Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow), Joey (Matt LeBlanc), Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), Monica (Courteney Cox), Chandler (Matthew Perry) and Ross (David Schwimmer) reunited for a Friends reunion, which was dropped on HBO Max on Thursday, May 27 2021.
“Smelly Cat,” is an original song about an abandoned cat, sung by Phoebe on the show and accompanied by Lisa Kudrow’s guitar-strumming skills. So it seemed only natural that fans get to hear it one more time, except this time, with the help of a mega superstar.

In the segment of the Friends reunion, Kudrow is sitting on the couch in Central Perk, getting the audience chucklling with her acoustic rendition of “Smelly Cat.” Then in on walks in Lady Gaga herself holding a guitar, dressed as Phoebe. Gaga donned a pink and orange coat, with her blond hair pulled back in a twist.
According to Variety, Kudrow had seen Gaga’s appearance ahead of time, and even helped plan it with director Ben Winston.
“I said to Lisa, ‘Would you be prepared to sing it?’ And she was like, ‘Yeah, that would be fun,’” Winston is quoted as saying.
“We went through a few names, and we both agreed that Gaga, if we could get her, would be the ultimate one because she associates with and feels close to Phoebe in so many ways, as Gaga says on the show. That was a really beautiful moment. And Lady Gaga jumped at the chance to do it.”
The Friends Reunion will air on Sunday, 30 May 2021, for South African audiences, on M-Net at 20:00.
