Songs I can play the bassline to (and what I'm learning...)

The idea of this is to write down a list of songs I have learnt the bassline to, to help me remember what I know and  so friends and fellow musicians can see what  I can play, e.g. jams, dep gigs, whatever.  Although I'm not new to bass, I am new to learning songs having started in mid 2010, hence the list is not that long yet.  I plan on learning 2-3 tunes a week on average and will update this page as I go.  Also to help know where I'm at I'll include stuff like whether I've memorized the bassline to the whole song, need a transcription/chart to play it, maybe link to the transcription and inspirational or instructional video I've used etc,.   They're listed in reverse order as best as my memory serves.
