Included as an accompaniment to the OEIS 100K e-party (see link).

There are many versions of the song. One begins:

One hundred green bottles standing on the wall,

One hundred green bottles standing on the wall,

and if one green bottle should accidentally fall,

there'd be ninety-nine green bottles standing on the wall.

Ninety-nine green bottles standing on the wall,

Ninety-nine green bottles standing on the wall,

and if one green bottle should accidentally fall,

there'd be Ninety-eight green bottles standing on the wall.

...

The most common version begins "Ten green bottles standing on the wall", but that gives a subsequence.
