How about "Hella Good" by No Doubt. That basslines is pretty much just two notes, but the way it throbs and pulses... that's a song that I think every budding bassist should study, because it's all about the groove and the feel. Any imbecile can play those notes, but playing them with "stank" is a whole 'nother story:
EDIT: "Do Something" by Macy Gray is another one. That bassline is only, like, two notes but so good and so hypnotic. That's another bassline that's all about the groove and the feel. Anyone can play the notes, but can you play them with that level of flow?
