First bassline you ever learned?

Well I'm just curious as to what the first song people on here could play on bass was.
For me, on the £70 stagg crapmaster, American idiot. Oh dear lord, how far I have come since then. Started off not knowing what frets were what and it took me a while to get the concept of adjusting a strap...
How about you guys?

And more quality!

For me, think it was Anarchy In The UK. Am going back many moons, but it was the only LP I had that I also had the songbook to, and I know that I found Pretty Vacant too difficult (I was a beginner).

On a red Marlin P-copy, various bit and pieces of easy Zep, the Doors. Then my dad said one day quite innocently "what can you play all the way through?"

errrm.

So I went off and found the nearest "Guitar For The Practicing Musician" which had Enter Sandman conveniently tabbed out and learnt that.

Ditto - although it was just the famous riff at the end, not the whole song.
The first complete song I learned was Bowie's 'John, I'm Only Dancing', as it was transcribed in the forst copy of Bassist I ever bought. :)

"Freewill" by Rush. It was transcribed for guitar and bass in a guitar magazine years ago, and was the only bass music in the house. I think I wore the cassette out listening to it repeatedly. Happy days. I can still remember most of it too.
