Inkpot is the fifth studio album by Dutch rock band Shocking Blue, released in 1972.
The American and Dutch versions have different track listings.
Three tracks on the album are cover songs, more than usual.
The album's title song may be familiar to people in Hong Kong, as a version of it has been used as the longtime theme song of televised Mark Six lottery drawing programme, since the commencement of the programme on 13 July 1976.[1]

Speaking of winners and bringing a touch of the Netherlands even closer to Hong Kong, the background music featured in the television broadcasts of Hong Kong Jockey Club's Mark Six draws is a version of "Inkpot", a song written by the Dutch rock band Shocking Blue from the Hague.
