This is a live version of (Falling Like) Dominoes by Donald Byrd. The original version was played by Chuck Rainey. This version is live, and I guess it is the Blackbyrds' bassist.
I remember the first time I heard that riff, I was getting ready for school, and that double-stop intro came through the radio, and I was hooked! 
Here is the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAKeelFK-Hk

Call me predictable, but my favorite is still Chuck's in "Josie"

It has to be a tie between Peg (Steely Dan) and the Sanford & Son theme. |

The original watermelon man was kinda lame imo, but the headhunters version blows me away with how well Paul Jackson could sit in the pocket
wait...thats a triple stop isn't it? oh well, it's a sweet song anyways  |

There's also a good Jethro Tull bass solo with lots of double stops. I think it's Bouree. Not sure. |

Anything by Stanley Clarke is up there too. Bass never sounded the same to me after School Days.

| | | | There's a ton of Classic Rainey double-stoppage out there...the Quincy Jones material, the Dan stuff, Aretha, etc.
A couple of early ones that, as a beginner, made me go "Huh...is that the bass"?
"How Long (Betcha Gotta Chick On The Side)"- The Pointer Sisters
"School Boy Crush"- AWB (on the outro)
...and, c'mon-
"Shining Star"- EW&F

"Dead Babies" & "Gutter Cat vs. The Jets"- Alice Cooper
Dennis Dunaway's open "D" drone effect (influenced by an Indian raga) was very cool.
