"Cuts you Up" By Peter Murphy (I think). Some dude with a fretless and he plays it with a bow and it sounds beautiful.

"Why Do Fools Fall in Love?" by Diana Ross. The Bass Line on that is something else.

I accidentally heard it while listening to the radio and um... I accidentally "bumped" the button and it accidentally changed and... umm... Man, she's so hot in that stewardess outfit in that video!!!

Both your choices made the list; "Good Times" may have been numero uno...the thing is Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust" also made the cut. Isn't that line like "Good Times"-lite?
"Come Together" was their choice by The Beatles.

"Christmas Wrapping," by the Waitresses. Naturally, they only play the song around Christmastime, and even then, not all that much. A very odd, yet catchy bassline. www.hardcafe.co.uk/waitresses/records.htm

Would be even better w/o Brittany! *coughs*skank*coughs*   I simply jest *snicker*
Which reminds me of the "Cooliedance" rhythm that Nina Sky sing over on "Move ya body"... so much better w/o the vocals.... though there are some good tunes w/vocals that use that rhythm....
