Songs built on ONE riff or chord?

Lots of funk. EWF - Let's Groove Tonight is one bassline except for the bridge. Or The Jacksons - Shake Your Body Down To The Ground. I think Cameo's - Word Up is too... going from memory here.

Showbiz Kids - Steely Dan

Lots of Parliament songs are one riff on one chord. "Deep" "Tear The Roof Off"

I prefer Van Halen's 'Running with the Devil'. Sound's like dude is playing one or two notes in the whole song.
