Potverdekke! (It's great to be a Belgian)

"Potverdekke! (It's great to be a Belgian)" is a 1998 novelty song, recorded by British singer John Makin, better known under his artist name, Mister John. It was his only hit song in his long career, making him a classic example of a one-hit wonder.

The word "Potverdekke" is a curse word, typically associated with the region around Brussels. The word is a minced oath; the intended meaning is "Goddamn!" (Dutch: godverdomme), but the roots for "God" and "damn" have been replaced by similar-sounding words.
