Courteney Cox recruits celeb friends for ‘Tony Danza’ tribute to Lisa Kudrow

Courteney Cox is slaying it with the social media posts recently. Just a week after she and bestie Ed Sheeran recreated the epic The Routine dance for fans, the actor and musician have teamed up for another Friends tribute… and they recruited a couple of other famous faces to do it.

In a new post on June 6, Elton John and Brandi Carlile joined Cox and Sheeran for a rendition of John’s famous tune, “Tiny Dancer.” Only in this version, which they dedicated to Friends star Lisa Kudrow, the quadrant sang some altered lyrics from the show: “Hold me closer, Tony Danza.”

“One of the greatest moments of my life. This one’s for you @lisakudrow,” Cox captioned the video, in which she plays the piano while sandwiched between a guitar-playing Sheeran and a singing John. Carlile is just behind them, also on the strings.

“@lisakudrow this is for you (and @tonydanza) we did it !” Sheeran captioned the video on his own account.

The song is a throwback to yet another great Friends moment, of course. In the Season 3 premiere, “The One with the Princess Leia Fantasy,” Phoebe (Kudrow) tells Ross (David Schwimmer) and Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) that the most romantic song is, “The one that Elton John wrote for that guy on Who’s the Boss.”

When Rachel asks her what song she’s thinking of, Phoebe breaks out into the lyrics, “Hold me close, young Tony Danza.” While those lyrics differ slightly from the rendition Cox and co. recorded, the sentiment was definitely there. It’s also worth noting that plenty of people believe John was singing to Danza, and the lyrics are some of the most misheard lyrics of all-time.

“First ‘the routine,’ now this. You’ve made my day once again! I’m honored!” Danza himself responded to the video, sharing it with his own followers on Instagram.

“That was the most thrilling thing ever!” Kudrow responded in her own video. She then busted into full Phoebe mode. “It was so good. Technically it’s um, though… ‘Hold me close young, Tony Danza,’” She sings. “So, but you know. But what you did was great too. You know. Including the original song that you wrote Sir Elton. That was really good… too.”

Kudrow and Cox recently got together with the rest of the original Friends cast for the reunion special, which dropped at the end of May on Crave. While the Tony Danza moment wasn’t among one of many discussed during the two-hour show, the crew definitely touched on plenty of other pop culture moments from the series while also dishing out new intel for fans.
