My stand out is probably 'Geraldine & John'
Also, 'Jump in to the fire' by Harry Nilsson
'The Time is Now' by Moloko
Edit to add:-
'Psycho Killer' - Talking Heads
Most stuff by Kim Deal in the Pixies - 'Gigantic', 'Here come your man', 'Hey' to name just three.
'Standing in the way of control' by Gossip
Zeppelin - "Ramble On" has cool bassline-as-melody
Archie Bell and the Drells - "Tighten Up"
Wire - "Three Girl Rhumba"
Charles Wright - "Express Yourself"
Primus - "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver"
Digital Underground - "Humpty Dance" maybe the ultimate in "less is more" funk
Gail Ann Dorsey's superb live version of Stop On By (just her on bass and vocals) has not yet been mentioned:
