Not so long ago I had a humble discussion with a friend of mine about furry music. Well, the discussion was mainly about this one song that got turned into a meme. I’m talking about “No cock like horse cock” by Pepper Coyote. It’s funny how he admitted to unironically listening to it and enjoying it for years. And I don’t blame him. The melody is catchy, the rhythm funky and the lyrics perverted making the whole song a comical sensation. Though, I personally wouldn’t listen to it regularly (not currently at least). I’m blaming the western genre of the song since I’m not a big of a fan of it (funny how we can both agree on that).
Thinking about the conversation, I wondered if there are any other “golden” furry songs out there. “Golden” as in hits that got a wider recognition outside the furry fandom and got actually liked.
The first thing that came to mind was “All the single furries!” by Stinky Skusky on YouTube. It’s a parody of Beyoncé’s “Single ladies”. Despite the immediate association, the only reason why it became so popular was because of how hated it was (and still probably is) – not just by other people, but furries too. So I guess I can’t call it “golden” since that would just undervalue the meaning of that word. Browsing through YouTube I found that the channel EZ Wolf has also done some furry music videos and covers, though none of them really stick out as much. Fox Amore has also done some amazing songwriting/composing (not sure if he still does that), but just like EZ Wolf, none of them stick out as much. However, I did stumble upon a song that got quite popular and liked by furries and non-furries. The song is “Paws to the Walls” by NIIC. Honestly, I can “hear” why it got liekd. The rhythm is funky just like in the first-mentioned song, the melody is also catchy, and the chord progression is kind of impressive and enviable. The lyrics are also in some way or form sexual but in a less comical/perverted and more “romantic” way. I can honestly see myself listening to this song unironically.
I could throw an eye on this topic later. I only scratched the surface of possible furry songs that have a wider potential.

" This video was made because she writes fanfiction and, back around 2002/3ish, she had killed so many characters in FanFiction that she made this as a tribute for all the characters she killed (including one original), as an inside joke to her readers."
It's still quite popular in Second Life where you'll hear it every so often when a DJ at a furry club is wanting to play or gets requested to play something nostalgic. There was a period where Zarla went out of their way to indicate it wasn't meant to be a furry song but If I remember right they lightened up a bit and came to accept that the community enjoyed it so much.
It does have that early 2000s vibe, so no wonder it is nostalgic to some people. Hell, it reminds me of my childhood and early excess to the Internet and the videos I sued to watch on YouTube and Newgrounds.
