Fur Rugs is an unidentified instrumental song sourced from the TV channel Muzak Environmental East (DishNet Channel 920) that was originally posted in 2007 by YouTube user bootsnfurrugs.
Background[edit | edit source]
On January 4th, 2007, YouTube user Bootsnfurrugs first uploaded the song to YouTube which they said was recorded off Muzak Environmental East (Dishnet Channel 920).[1] Muzak is a company that distributes instrumental backing tracks for retailers, with the Musak Environmental Channel being the only one that does not exclusively use Muzak compositions.[2]
Commenters claim to remember the song playing on several different radio stations, including 99.7 KMBR in Kansas City,[3] the Plaza or Easy Instrumental channels on SiriusXM,[4] and on the playlist of Alco stores in the American Midwest before the chain closed down in October 2014.[5][6]
On July 18th, 2019, rapper Epademik sampled the song in his song White-troduction (Intro).[7]
Partial Discovery[edit | edit source]
In February 2024, a Muzak YouTuber known as Official World Trade Centre Muzak Community discovered that the song was potentially composed by Andre Mayeux after contacting him.[8] However, Mayeux claimed he couldn't remember the exact name of the song and provided no evidence to back up his claim that he created it.[9]
On March 19th, 2024, the song appeared in YouTube user C.W. Schultz's video: Songs Searched For Longer Than The Most Mysterious Song On The Internet.[10]
