Did you mean Peace Sells...? I can't believe it took even two pages for it to get mentioned...
That's not a bass playing the intro of Aqualung... The bass doesn't come until the 4th bar... But it certainly IS a very recognizable guitar riff!
If I must,
A Message To Rudy- The Specials
Ohio- Pretenders
And my all-time favorite....
Fat Albert.....I think the dude was playing a cigar box fastened to a broom handle in the cartoon!

Oooh Oooh, I know, it was a round thing that sounded funny on the 33 setting.....
I had a bunch of them actually. Used to break the needles all the time. Thank goodness for CD's!
Anyone said Queen's Under Pressure yet (or should I say, Ice Ice Baby).
The following are not necessarily intros, but I guarantee if you heard just the lines you'd instantly know what song it was:
Yes - Roundabout
Rick James - Superfreak
Joe Jackson - Sunday Papers
The Go Gos - Our Lips are Sealed, We Got the Beat
Beatles - Come Together

Wake Up Dead starts off with bass too.
Also would like to add Mongoloid by Devo and Future Tense by Sanctuary.
Does It Really Happen?
Into The Lens
Both tracks are from the Yes Drama album. Each with a very prominent bass intro - which you will already know and love - if you're a big fan of Chris Squire...

Nilsson - Jump Into The Fire.....quite possibly the bass line intro to end them all.
And also quite possibly the first example of detuning a bass mid-song!
