WHO knew Lisa Kudrow was so musically inclined?

The former “Friends” actress, 51, revealed in a Reddit “Ask Me Anything” Q&A on Tuesday that she had a hand in creating Phoebe Buffay’s famous song Smelly Cat.

“The writers wrote it, I wrote the tune, and had a little help from Chrissie Hynde,” said Kudrow.

Hynde is best known for being the lead musician in the band The Pretenders.

“She was amazing,” Kudrow added.

The Comeback star also said she hasn’t picked up a guitar since the show ended in 2004.

When thinking about Phoebe’s extensive, and often hilarious, song catalog, she said, “They all actually make me laugh really hard.

“Somebody put them all together on YouTube, because I’d forgotten all the songs, and every time a new one came on, I laughed out loud.”

Her favorite tune involved teaching kids where hamburgers come from. “I really like the one for the kids, that starts, ‘Oh the cow in the meadow goes moo…,” she said.
