Given ^^^this criteria, I'm kinda amazed it took 47 posts for someone to mention Pink Floyd's "Money"

I'm not a Floyd fanboy by any stretch, but it's pretty hard to deny the iconic, song-defining nature of that line.

One of the things for me that's really cool with this thread is that as I read the various choices I can hear the particular bass lines in my head. To the OP Thanks for starting it!

Girl Talk mashup of theFugazi line with Rihanna https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PmVp01EBsc

Joe is playing in Messthetics now.

Bruce Foxton in Start! (he's killing it on all of That's Entertainment, though)
