After last week’s ‘the routine’ post in which she re-created the famous dance scene from F.R.I.E.N.D.S. with Ed Sheeran, Courteney Cox returns for another tribute to the iconic TV show.
This time, Courteney, who played Monica Geller on F.R.I.E.ND.S., gave nod to an equally memorable scene involving Phoebe, played by Lisa Kudrow, who unknowingly flubbed an Elton John song believing it to be about a certain actor from an old comedy TV show.
“I think that song that Elton John wrote for the guy on 'Who’s The Boss,” (is the most romantic song ever) Phoebe said, to quizzical looks from Ross and Rachel (David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston respectively), and then proceeded to sing the chorus to Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer” but saying “Tony Danza” instead.
Said episode was from “The One With The Princess Leia Fantasy” which originally aired September 19, 1996.
This time, Courteney got to recreate the song with Elton John himself. Superstars Ed Sheeran and Brandi Carlisle were also on hand as the four of them sang the chorus to Elton's “Tiny Dancer” but using Phoebe’s famous lyrics instead. It was extra memorable for Cox, who was the one playing the piano as she sat with John, as Sheeran and Carlisle were on their acoustic guitars.
“One of the greatest moments of my life. This one’s for you @lisakudrow,” Courteney wrote on her Instagram and added the hashtags #phoebe, #tonydanza and #tinydancer.
Lisa Kudrow replied to the post and said: “Whaaaaaat??? That’s the most exciting thing ever!!!!”
