Just when we couldn't miss Friends enough, this happens!

Colbie Caillat surprised a group of fans Saturday afternoon when she showed up at the Central Perk pop-up shop in New York City's SoHo district.

Wearing jeans, a white top and brown boots, the 29-year-old singer stepped up to the microphone to deliver an unannounced performance of Phoebe Buffay's beloved song, "Smelly Cat."

"Smelly cat, smelly cat what are they feeding you?" she sang. "Smelly cat, smelly cat it's not your fault."

The tune, which can get stuck in your head instantly (sorry readers), was first introduced to us by actress Lisa Kudrow

She would often sing to co-stars Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, Courteney Cox and the rest of the gang as they hung out inside the iconic coffee shop.

"That was COOL! Singin @ #CentralPerk," Caillat tweeted after her visit. "My favorite show ever #Friends20."

Last month, the entire cast celebrated the show's 20th anniversary. Yes, the very first episode aired all the way back on Sept. 22, 1994.

Cox recalled to late-night host Jimmy Kimmel how the group used to celebrate every new episode by watching the show together.

"We did. The whole cast," the actress explained. "Maybe even [director] Jimmy Burrows and maybe the creators. We did it every single Thursday for like the first year."

And after nearly two decades, the cast has nothing but good memories.

"If I had a time machine, I would like to go back to 2004 and not have stopped," Matthew Perry recently revealed to Piers Morgan. Kudrow added, "We had a lot of fun."
