...other than "thank you faletin me be mice elf" or"higher ground" by RHCP.
How about "Hair" by Larry Graham
"run for cover"-M. miller
"If that was your boyfreind he wasn't last night"- Mee Shell(one of my favs!)
 
Oh man, "Tommy the Cat" is an awesome line! Also very fun to play! :D

I also like "Got to Be Real" from Cheryl Lynn. Disco gwoove! :D
 
oh yeah...that little fill the guy does in "to be real"...that took me a while to almost get!"Shake your pants" by Cameo is really cool as well and you all should check out the live version of "If I was your girlfreind" by prince

you all have to pick up the Larry graham instructional Video....it's just him and a drummer...funky as hell!For all the mugging for the camera he does I actually learned a lot from it.
 
I definitely give it to Wooten's version of Teen Town!

+1 for Fishbone's "Bonin'..."!

Dude, I gotta say, I honestly don't play bass. But, One of the best slap bass lines i've ever heard is on a Joe Satriani Live cd i've got. I can't remember what it's called. Moose, His bass, is freakin sweet! He does this awesome hilbilly like bass line thats hilarious. Its awesome.
 
Pattitucci on one of the tracks on Beneath the Mask (chick corea's elektrik band). nice laid back groove....overall slappin' is over rated since most cats in my opinion that are slaphappy can't lay back in the pocket and create a foundation...
