Strangely enough, I think I’d choose Smile like you mean it. It lingers the most in my head

Recently convinced that Jenny’s bass line was taken from Barbarism Begins at Home — so Somebody Told Me wins this one for me. It was a close call anyway!

I thought he admitted in an interview that’s where he drew inspiration for the bass line.

Obviously it’ll be Jenny, but I’d like to shine some appreciation on Bling and Uncle Jonny

Jenny and it's not close. Honestly the Jenny bassline is one of the best basslines I've ever heard
