Smelly Cat

You say you don't know who Lisa Loeb is.

Apparently, I don't either because, Billy, I was – I was thinking the whole time that Lisa Loeb was the one that sang the song Smelly Cat from Friends.

Turns out that's Lisa Kudrow, not Lisa Loeb.

So I've been talking about Lisa Loeb on QMF for months going, oh, yeah, she's going to be there.

She's going to play Smelly Cat.

Everybody loves Smelly Cat from Friends.

So we're there at Bourbon and Beyond Fest, and I'm just staring at her the whole time going, well, are you going to play it? Are you going to play Smelly Cat? What are you doing? And then it dawned on me that's Lisa Kudrow, not Lisa Loeb.

Get your Lisa straight, Shannon.

Yeah.

I go where you go, and I go Smelly Cat.

[laughs]

[laughs]

What do I care? What if God was one of us? Do you know that one? Okay, yes.

How about Lisa Loeb, Smelly Cat?

Yeah, I know that one, too.

That's just Sunday.

You can write a poem about a smelly man on a bus.

I mean, it worked for Phoebe in Friends, Smelly Cat.

So give me some examples of things that you've observed on buses and trains that you've written down that are that interesting.

Oh, well, there was a guy on the train a couple weeks ago and he was busting for the loo, but the loo was out of order.

They have a brand new album coming out and that's one of the tracks from it.

Yesterday, I said, there's a chance I could spoil this song for you because somebody texted in and said, if you listen to the beginning of that song, in fact, if you listen to lots of that song, it sounds like Smelly Cat, the song that Phoebe sings in the show Friends.

What are they feeding you? There we go.

So then we all looked at Captain and he went, okay, fine.

changing

the pitch and the key to see if they do actually do sound the same.

kings of leon their new song versus smelly cat

smelly cat smelly cat what are they feeding you it's not your fault

Oh, that's a good one.

Like Smelly Cat.

'Cause I can see you singing Smelly Cat.

Yes.

[laughs]

And you're actually kinda, like, sick right now, Pooch, so that episode where Phoebe, like, was n- like, had, like, a nasal, uh, congestion, and she sounded even better.

Yes.

You could really do the naseled version of Smelly Cat right now.

Go on, what are you going to say?

Tom says, tell me this new Kings of Bleon song doesn't have exactly the same tune as Smelly Cat that Phoebe sings in Friends.

No,

no, no. Oh, don't say

that, bro.

Sorry about that.

Smelly Cat.

When I'm feeding you.

So this way she can get into the bend of her choach.

And right when the girl does figure four, smelly cat, smelly cat,

what are they feeding you? Smelly cat,

smelly cat.

That's hysterical.

Smelly

And Lesbieta comes running out of the room after the wax and she goes, we have to take that CD out.

I was like, what's wrong? She was like, I told her figure four and

I've got to watch more than the three episodes that I've ever seen.

One with Marcel, the monkey, and then Smelly Cat.

Yeah, I've just seen Smelly Cat and then the ones with Aisha Tyler.

Yeah.

Maybe she should be on the pod.

I know, right? That kind of imagery really shows how cats have this fierce side.

And then you've got Phoebe Buffay's Smelly Cat.

Such a different vibe.

Exactly, one's this haunting rock piece and the other is a quirky sitcom anthem.
