"Ik heb een potje met vet" is a traditional song in the Dutch language. It was traditionally sung by soldiers, popularised in 1974 by the Dutch band Hydra with three verses added to the chorus, and now is very popular for singing during long walks and bus journeys. The song is also popular amongst lesbians because potje is the diminutive of pot, originally a swearword for lesbian, but successfully reappropriated as a word for proud self-identification. It can be seen as the Dutch version of the similar English song "99 Bottles of Beer".
