Succéschottis also known as Världens längsta schottis is a song written by Göran Arnberg and Magnus Fermin. It was originally recorded by For Meget Productions.[1] Lyrically, the song is a joyful tune describing an international dance around the Earth, with references to various geographical locations, from Washington to Blekinge.
Lotta Engberg performed the song on her 1987 album Fyra Bugg & en Coca Cola,[2] and her version was released to Svensktoppen, where it stayed for 10 weeks during the period 14 June–1 November 1987, peaking at third position.[3]
Cowboybengts covered the song on their 2001, Grammis awarded album Vi är Cowboy Bengts.[4] 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 languages, including a Norwegian take known as "Østerdalssvingom" with references to other geographical locations, which has been recorded by Norwegian dansband Scandinavia.
