It's hard for me to pick just one, but when I was asked that question at MusicRadar's Facebook page, I chose Led Zeppelin's "The Lemon Song" from "Led Zeppelin II".

If you don't know who plays bass on these songs... well, so bad for you.

Personally, I like the Peter Gunn Theme even if it's simple.
Time is Tight and Green Onions both come to mind.
