I first heard "A Hundred Bottles of Beer on the Wall" as a child in 1959.
"Ninety-Nine Bottles Hanging on the Wall" first seems to have been published in a collection of British soldiers' songs in 1917. The tune was a little different.
There's still another version, "Ten Green Bottles Standing on a Wall," mentioned in the mid '20s. It seems to be British.
