"Du hast den schönsten Arsch der Welt" (translated as "You have the most sweetest ass in the world") is a 2007 German language song by the German dance music composer, producer, and DJ Alex C. (full name Alex Christensen). The song "Du hast den schönsten Arsch der Welt" was recorded in co-operation with and featuring Y-ass. It sampled from The Soundlovers' song "Run Away". Also in 2007, Basshunter made a remix of the song as "Du Hast Den Schönsten Arsch Der Welt (Bass My Ass Remix)".

This song marked an international breakthrough for Alex Christensen. Because the song got high ratings in several foreign dance charts, it was re-released in several other languages including in English as "Sweetest Ass in the World" as well as in French, Spanish, Dutch and Czech languages.
