7 Music Videos From Classic 90s TV Shows You Need To See
7. Smelly Cat (Friends)
Phoebe Buffay was an amazing songwriter who created timeless classics such as "Crusty Old Man" and "Fetus." Her real breakout hit, however, was "Sleepy Cat." Near the end of the show's second season a record producer wanted to make a music video out of the tune.
The weirdness of the video is pretty apparent by the time that the backup singers emerge from a nearby dumpster. But possibly even weirder is the fact that the voice in the video is not that of actress Lisa Kudrow.
In the episode the record producer uses a loophole in Phoebe's contract to overdub her voice with a singer that was perceived as better.
Phoebe, being the naïve sweetheart that she is, ultimately felt sorry for the woman behind the voice in the video for obviously being too ugly to appear in front of the camera. That kind of logic is why we loved Phoebe.
