The infectious groove of Hall & Oates's classic "Maneater" (1982) is driven by the absolutely killer bass line. As evidence, I present to you the "bassapella" version of "Maneater" with the drums removed from the mix.
Bonus musical memory: Greg Dulli of the Afghan Whigs credits the "Maneater" bass pump as inspiring his band's mighty fine cover of The Supremes' "My World is Empty Without You" (1991)…
