In August 2010, user alexxx1984 uploaded two snippets of the lostwave to WatZatSong, claiming it to be from a bootleg DVD of "Jacquou le Croquant". He uploaded the same snippet again in October 2020, gaining more attention the second time around.

It was later found on another menu of the same DVD, with entries for "The Simpsons Movie," "Ratatouille," and "Aqua Teen Hunger Force."
