What do you think is the funkiest song that does not have a dominate bass part or does not have a bass part at all?
My vote goes to...
Psycho Killer by Talking Heads (Stop Making Sense version aka the one with the boombox and guitar).

The bass is important, but it's not the "Main funk"

Good calls by Brad and DW on the Prince tracks too.
