Can me crazy but after reading a great many of these posts…don’t iconic imply someone else has at least heard the tune?

Iconic to me - or my wife/normal person who isn’t obsessed with bass lines?

 

[Tommy V]

lots of TV theme music would fit this topic, but a lot of those are as old as the average TB'er, so it kinda kills it for most of the millennials and younger folks.

I don’t think anyone’s said “Bust a Move” yet. According to legend, Flea got paid union scale for the session, couple hundred bucks. And laid down one of the most iconic basslines ever.

Soooo many that I thought of have already been listed.
The Zombies were mentioned but I didn't notice "She's Not There"

Paul Revere and the Raiders....Hungry
OK, maybe iconic only to certain aged groups.

This song was fairly popular (many of you here may have never heard it), but everybody starts tapping their feet when I play this bass line, especially when the drums kick in
