Very basic,but good practice for your right hand technique.

I'm at a point in my playing where all the basic "slap introduction" type stuff doesn't help me, as I understand the technique. What I need now is some basic to intermediate songs that I can practice to start developing the technique.
It seems to me that everything about slap is either "here's the technique at it's most basic", and the next thing I can find after that is ridiculously tough... It's so hard to actually get started with it.

Oh! I forgot...check out Bottom of the Barrell by Betty Davis, not too complicated and uber funky. Also, for some finger funk (if you care) check out Stepping High in Her L. Miller Shoes, also by Betty Davis. That chick (and her band) brought it!
