10 Most Iconic Friends Moments Of All Time
10. Smelly Cat
Phoebe Buffay's music was such a big part of who she was as a character, but it also played a big part in the series as a whole. She was always on stage in Central Perk singing her quirky yet loveable songs, but none ever quite reached the same level of infamy as Smelly Cat.
It's a simple song, but it represented so much more than that. The friends all sang it together, and there isn't a fan of the show that doesn't know the lyrics off by heart. The song just encompassed everything that was great about Phoebe.
It was funny, it was bizarre and random, and though most other musicians wouldn't have written such a song, Phoebe embraced it and so did the rest of the group, as well as everyone watching.
She was an advocate for the weird and the wonderful in Friends, and Smelly Cat was a big part of that. Lady Gaga was even brought in to duet the song with Lisa Kudrow on the reunion special, but there's no doubting that nothing will ever beat the original.
