Phoebe Buffay-Hannigan is a fictional character on the popular US television sitcom Friends
(1994–2004), played by Lisa Kudrow. She is perhaps best known for her guitar playing in Central Park and her elaborate improbable stories about her previous lives. Phoebe was known throughout the series as the eccentric, sometimes unintelligent, but she is street smart.Having experienced nothing like a normal, complete childhood, Phoebe is often quite naive, and is in some regards still a child at heart.
Phoebe frequently uses the alter ego Regina Phalange when she is pretending to be someone else, she even adopts a French version called "Régine Filange".
Her resistance against large corporations is made manifest in several episodes in which she speaks out against chain stores and the ideal of corporate greed
Phoebe's music is definitely different. She doesn't sing in the normal key a singer usually would, but this is one of the reasons she is a beloved character. Her stunning array of songs include "The Double-Double-Double-Jointed Boy", "Bisexuals", "Sue, Sue, Suicide", "You Suck", "Shut Up and Go Home", "Pervert Parade", "Sticky Shoes", "Saltwater Taffy Man", "Ode to a Pubic Hair (Little Black Curly Hair)", and last bu not least the famous "Smelly Cat", which became both a jingle for a kitty litter television commercial (not sung by her) and a serious commercial release (also not her singing).
