The greatest bass lines with the fewest notes?

[Twincam]

I was thinking there is some great simple baselines out there that while obviously solo don't sound like anything much but in song sound great.

So just for fun what are the best but most simple bass lines? Extra points for the fewer the notes etc.

[linear]

Ennio Morricone's theme from The Thing.

[fretmeister]

Under Pressure?

[MrCrane]

The bass line for All Right Now has no notes until you get to the chorus.

[NickD]

Papa was a Rolling Stone... sooooo much with so little!

[toneknob]

Once In A Lifetime
Walking On The Moon
Theme from "Jaws"

[Dropzone]

Fight for your right to party - A forever

[dmccombe7]

Summer Nights - Grease

Someone was gonna mention it

Dave

[Johnny Wishbone]

The verse to "Funky Monks" by RHCP has to be up there - bar the odd fill it's only one note, and it's glorious.

Boys of Summer.

[upside downer]

Public Image by Public Image Ltd springs to mind.

[Twigman]

Peaches

[Coilte]

Spoonful. (I love CREAM'S version).

[RhysP]

"Wheels of Steel" by Saxon.

[Bobthedog]

My banker would be Safe from Harm - Massive Attack (not the original - Stratus; Billy Cobham, on account of that having several fills, albeit a better tune). BABF#ABBA - three notes (I don't think there are any fills in this song)
Maybe; The Time is Now - Moloko - 9 notes though
and perhaps not good enough for this list but The Pixies' Where is my Mind is only 5 notes (or at least the way I play it is!)

[scalpy]

Superstition

Psycho Killer

[xgsjx]

Some great mentions.

D'Angelo's Chicken Grease. Pino on bass making a couple of notes sound funky.

[Twincam]

As said above some great mentions already. And some others I will have to check out.

[Kirky]

Ball of Confusion by the Temptations. And Everyday People by Sly and the Family Stone.

[Nicko]

Hit me with......

I'll get me coat

[TrevorR]

I'll offer both The Chain (cliché I know but still) by Fleetwood Mac and Owner Of A Lonely Heart by Yes. Oh, and Walking On The Moon by the Police (cliché I know bit still...)

[NoRhino]

Edwin Collins: Never Seen a Girl Like You Before.
D. That's it.
A quality song.

[Barking Spiders]

Agree with the Temptations noms and a few others. Add Peaches, The Chain, Another Ones Bites The Dust, Blue Monday

[Kevin Dean]

Pull up to the Bumper , Water Front , Solsbury Hill .

[Painy]

Running With the Devil - Van Halen.

You Got the Love - Candi Staton.

Edit:-
