#ThrowbackThursday - How about coffee at "Central Perk"? | News Article
Back to 1994 we go with the theme song of probably the most successful series of all time. Originally planned to be titled "Insomnia Cafe", later producers thought it should be called "Friends like us" until they agreed on "Friends" and the rest as they say, is history!
 
 
The Rembrandts are best known for signing the title song for "Friends" and still make music to this day although they have never had as much commercial success since 1994. The Rembrandts are an Americanpop rock duo formed by Danny Wilde and Phil Solem in 1989. They had previously worked together as members of Great Buildings in 1981.
 
 
 
It has now been 21 years since "Friends" aired for the first time in September 1994. Late last year, a pop up cafe in New York opened its doors to commemorate 20 years of "Central Perk" which is the coffee shop where the characters spent many hours.
 
 
Visitors can see lots of memorabilia from the series and even take photos on the famous orange couch! Here is a video of the opening day :)
