"Drip Drip Drip" (sometimes stylised as "Drip, Drip, Drip") is a song by British alternative band Chumbawamba, from their eighth studio album, Tubthumper. In the spirit of their oft-politicized lyrics, the song discusses slumlords and the injustice faced by tenants; the song can also be viewed as a metaphor for politicians' control and dishonesty. It was the third and final single from the album.

"Drip Drip Drip" uses horns, synthesizers, and a moderately-slow drum as its primary instrumentation. The lyrics discuss slumlords and the unfairness behind wealth distribution and housing ownership. The song also contains wordplay, with lyrics such as "It's trickle-down theory, and it's coming to me" and "life's a whip-round and I've got the whip."Allmusic classifies the song as "dreamy," "lively," "mechanical," "pulsing," and "striding;" they state that the song's themes are "everyday life," "relationships," and "politics/society."

The song was released as the third and final single from "Tubthumper" in the United States in June 1998, as a follow-up to "Amnesia," which had reached number 101 in the United States. A promotional CD single was made available, featuring the album version and the radio edit of the song. The song was never officially released in the United Kingdom, and thus never charted there.

Despite the failure of "Amnesia" on modern rock radio stations, Universal Records still released "Drip, Drip, Drip" to the stations; it received little play.

The song was met with generally mixed to favorable reviews from music critics. Larry Flick of Billboard magazine called the song, which he thought "oozes with a political subtext," "clever," but felt the song didn't have what it took to be a hit and that the "instrumental energy doesn't always quite match the intensity of the vocals and chants."The Virgin Encyclopedia of Nineties Music commented that the song, as well as "The Good Ship Lifestyle" and "Mary Mary", "lay(s) a strong bite in the lyric".

The song was reworked on "The ABC's of Anarchism." The new version, titled "Smelly Water," discussed water pollution.
