Comedy Central India has unearthed the real inspiration for Drake's "Hotline Bling," and it's none other than beloved Friends character Chandler Bing.
On Feb. 14, the Indian version of the cable channel posted a promo video for its re-airing of Friends to its Facebook page that synced the singing, dancing, and general antics of the character of Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry) to Drake's hit song - re-titled, appropriately, "Hotline Bing."
The oversized sweater, the dorky dancing - all of the slightly bizarre elements of Drake's original music video for the song (which was widely mocked, even by the likes of Donald Trump) - it all makes much more sense when reinterpreted through the eyes of the Friends favorite.
Okay, so we got Chandler to dance to our tune... No, not ours.#FRIENDSonCC, Mon-Fri, 10 PM.

While Chandler Bing will live on in syndication, as we previously reported, Matthew Perry will not be joining the highly anticipated upcoming Friends reunion during Must-See TV: An All-Star Tribute to James Burrows, which will premiere Feb. 21 on NBC.
