In 2007, Bootsnfurrugs uploaded the song to Youtube which they said was recorded off '''Muzak Environmental East''' (Dishnet Channel 920). Muzak is known for distributing a variety of instrumental backing tracks for clients such as superstores and other retailers. The Musak Environmental Channel was the only Muzak Channel that did not use compositions exclusively owned by Muzak. It has been speculated that Fur Rugs was also played on the '''Kansas KNBR Station''', a channel that also played Muzak almost exclusively as well as the Plaza Channel of '''Sirius XM'''.
