"Pass That Dutch" is a song by American rapper Missy Elliott. It was written and produced by Elliott and Timbaland for her fifth studio album, This Is Not a Test! (2003), and contains samples of "Magic Mountain" by War and "Potholes in My Lawn" by De La Soul.

Released as the album's lead single in September 2003, "Pass That Dutch" reached number nine on the US Billboard Hot Rap Tracks chart and number 27 on the Billboard Hot 100. It additionally peaked at number 10 in United Kingdom and reached the top 20 in Finland and Norway. The song was ranked first on MuchMusic's "Top 50 MuchVibe Videos of All Time" countdown and 291st on Pitchfork Media's "Top 500 songs of the 2000s".^{[citation needed]}

Music video

The Dave Meyers directed video features Elliott on a farm, dancing under a UFO, on a stage as a beauty queen being cheered on by a crowd of Bratz dolls, in a car where one of the other passengers eats a man after he sets off the car alarm, and on the Empire State Building in a parody of King Kong. This is the second song where Elliott references Aaliyah, as her picture is on Elliott's desk in the beginning of the music video. The song also features the first verse and chorus of "Wake Up" alongside cameo appearances from former 106 & Park personality Free and Elliott's former protégé Lil' Brianna. Images of Aaliyah are displayed on t-shirts worn by Elliott and back up dancers in this closing segment.
