Songs that use that riff. You know, the one that Nirvana used.

As we all know, Nirvana had a walloping bit hit in the early 1990s which summed up the disaffectedness of a generation and had a guitar riff you could sing along to. 
But, as we all know, that wasn't the only song ever to use that riff. So, here's where we can post any examples we come across of records that used that riff or similar.
Is this the earliest one ever to use it? El Loco Cha Cha Cha by René Touzet, way back in 1956.

Oh, I thought you meant the one that sounds like
Which is of course a rip off of
But that one sounds like
Or more specifically the boneheadedly simple, and better for it, Kingsmen one

I've just realised Jefferson Starship's Jane is built on that riff as well.

Inspired by the Rocking awesomeness of that track, I gave bits of the album it came from a listen, to see if it was suitable for a running commentary thread, but it sounded totally limp.
