I think this kind of stuff gave birth to the disco octave thing.

"Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" by Rod Stewart is a good one. Galloping octaves all the way through the song. I think the bassist is Phil Chen.

Not really a disco song at all, but "Something is Not Right with Me" by the Cold War Kids uses a disco octave line.

Is he? I thought he was just using 2 fingers (which would probably be more difficult but it is Flea...)

Chen is amazing. He sounds like he's sequenced. What a groove machine.

Beat me to it. Check the studio version -- it's a little slower, but no less awesome.
