Best ever basslines?

Hattigol

So, Billy Jean just came on my shuffled Ipod. Brilliant bassline which is basically the essence of the song.

Walk on the Wild Side springs to mind as another obvious one.

Others?

In the cheesy mainstream pop category: Going Gets Tough - Billy Ocean. Great bassline, though the song is let down by some dated 80’s production.
