Potje met vet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Ik heb een potje met vet" ("I've got a jar of fat") is a traditional song in the Dutch language. It was traditionally sung by soldiers,[1] popularised in 1974 by the Dutch band Hydra with three verses added to the chorus,[2] and now is very popular for singing during long walks[3] and bus journeys.[4] The song is also popular amongst lesbians because potje is the diminutive of the pot, originally a swearword for lesbians, but successfully reappropriated as a word for proud self-identification.[4] It can be seen as the Dutch version of the similar English song "99 Bottles of Beer".
