"Funnest" and most recognizable bass lines

Sign in to disble this ad
Just wondering what some of you feel are the the "funnest" and most recognizable bass lines. Lets put this at the most difficult level of "Around the World"'s bassline by Flea. I'm sure I'd love to play something like "My Name is Mud" by Claypool, but that's a bit out of my league.
I'll start. Funnest- Around the world, flea or
Lunchbox, Twiggy (Marilyn Manson)
Most recognizable- Longview, Greenday

Your universe is pretty far from mine...but you asked.

For me?

Peg - Steely Dan
Signed, Sealed, Delivered - Stevie Wonder
Eight Days A Week - Beatles

As you can see, none are particularly difficult (technically, although they are hard to nail correctly), they're just fun to play, and put a big fat smile on my face without fail.
