What songs have bass lines that are pretty much repetitive for the whole song but are great bass lines/songs none the less?
Things like Good Times by Chic etc.

Repetitive but good bass lines

The Talking Heads Psycho Killer - brutally simple.
Sade's 'Paradise.' After a 3-note intro, it's the exact same riff for 3 minutes.
^^^ Was just going to recommend Paul S. Denman (Sade). Long - term fan of his, always liked his taste / tone / time / feel. Serves the song perfectly.
Here is a sample of Mr. Denman.... I absolutely adore this video: Sade has such a classy yet steamy stage presence, the whole band is fantastic (edit - not to mention, the mixer feed audio sounds deliciously good)

Groove is in the Heart, by Deee-Lite.
John McVie’s iconic line in the Chain. Duck Dunn’s line in Time is Tight. Nikki Monninger’s line in Panic Switch.
Too Rolling Stoned by Robin Trower.
Jimmy Dewar was the perfect blues-rock bass player and vocalist.

Billy Jean - I realize it changes a little but is still very repetitive.
Pretty much the entire catalog of James Brown.
"Make it Funky!"

Almost goofy in it's simplicity, but wow does it work.
Just so you know I like more technical lines too.
