Succéschottis also known as Världens längsta schottis is a song written by Göran Arnberg and Magnus Fermin. It was originally performed by For Meget Productions. Lyrical, the song is a joyful tune describing a dance around the Earth while mentioning the name of places, regions and states to where the dancing goes.

Lotta Engberg performed the song on her 1987 album "Fyra Bugg & en Coca Cola". and her version was tested for Svensktoppen, where it stayed for 10 weeks during the period 14 June-1 November 1987, peaking at third position.

Cowboybengts covered the song on their 2001 Grammis awarded album "Vi är Cowboy Bengts". Lotta Engberg also appears on this version, with a sampled addition of her "-Hej!" in the opening of her version of the song. The song has also been recorded in other versions, including with lyrics in Norwegian as "Østerdalssvingom", which has been recorded by Norwegian dansband Scandinavia.
