Mosiqa uploaded a 30-second snippet of Zoltan to WatZatSong on May 29, 2019.
On May 29, 2019, the WatZatSong user '''Mosiqa''' uploaded a snippet of a mysterious song.


The song didn’t get a ton of attention in the lostwave community until January 2024, when it would get a channel on Discord, as well as a subreddit within a few days of each other.
On March 28, 2024, the full song was found in a Dailymotion video. Another video was found shortly thereafter as an advertisement for the French bank Crédit Agricole, which was found to be from the bank’s website as part of an internet campaign. However, upon contacting Crédit Agricole, they denied producing the song.


Early on, searchers pointed out that Zoltan struck a significant resemblance to the well-known 1979 song Moskau, leading many to believe that Zoltan could be a parody. Some believed that Moskau could be a parody of Zoltan.
==Discovery==
On April 15, 2024, the user '''Nel''' contacted someone called '''Zoltan Lantos'''. He confirmed that he was the song's lyricist, and that it was composed and recorded by Vincent Barrès (known as Malone), and sing by Marc Beacco. It was also said that the song was made especially for the advertisement.


It was also pointed out by many Hungarians that the singer had an unusual accent when singing, and that it was unlikely to be a native Hungarian singing.

The clip’s original name was “300x200_ca_ja_005.mp3”. Many speculated on what this could mean. Some speculated that “005” could represent a fifth track,  or that 300x200 could be the original dimensions of something. A Discord user found that 300x200 seemed mostly associated with ads.

Zoltan searchers reached out to Dschinghis Khan, the band who performed Moskau. They agreed Zoltan sounded very similar, but they had nothing to do with it.

On March 28, 2024, Reddit user u/Prudent-Feature-2412 posted on the lostwave subreddit that they had found a fulllength version of Zoltan on Dailymotion - a music video. It was the eighth result after searching “Zoltan”. This confirmed it was a parody of Moskau. Hours later, a Discord user found an earlier version of Zoltan, used in an advertisement for Credit Agricole.
 
The people in the music video were identified as Nicolas Benamou, Garet Thierry, Terry Nimajimbe, and possibly Frédérique Bédos.

Zoltán Zoltán élvezed
 
Szorgalmas és szerelmes
 
Élete tökéletes
 
Zoltán Zoltán jön a nyár
 
Akkor is ha ho esik
 
Egy két hár’ négy öt, hej
 
Szépek a léanyok
 
Csicseregnek madarak
 
Szépek a csillagok
 
Ez a szép élet
