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

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). 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.

Commenters claim to remember the song playing on several different radio stations, including 99.7 KMBR in Kansas City, the Plaza or Easy Instrumental channels on SiriusXM, and on the playlist of Alco stores in the American Midwest before the chain closed down in October 2014.

On July 18th, 2019, rapper Epademik sampled the song in his song White-troduction (Intro).

Partial Discovery

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. However, Mayeux claimed he couldn't remember the exact name of Fur Rugs and provided no evidence to back up his claim that he created the song.

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.
