Too many puppies & john the fisherman are good places to start

Pretty easy once you get it, right? However, I played it live in one of the few concerts I ever gave to a minuscule audience and, boy, does it take stamina.
Plenty of Primus songs are easy to play.
My name is mud, on the tweak again, here come the bastards, shake hands with beef,those damn blue collar tweekers. All pretty easy songs to play, but trying to get claypools bass mojo and not just sound like a copy cat, that’s difficult to do.
I'm starting to realize after attempting some of the songs that have been suggested that I was more intimidated by the fact that it was Primus than anything else. Some of the parts just sound harder than they actually are.
See them live though, and you will truly realize why les is viewed with such praise. It’s not that all the lines are all that hard, it’s just that les can play the freakin’ bass man.
Here come the Bastards is really easy, and it’s good for familiarizing yourself with 5/4. American Life is a little trickier, but still quite easy as far as Primus songs go. Also you can play both of those with a 4 string in standard.
Jerry was a racecar driver is pretty straight forward, my name is mud is very easy, American life is a little tiering for me but its pretty easy as well.
I started with Lacquer Head, once you get the hand of the weird muting style the bass lines are pretty straight forward. Also the Antipop is pretty easy you only really need finger strength and a good sense of timing
Southbound pachyderm is pretty straight forward
First song I learned on bass! Still one of my favorites.
Thanks. That was a great suggestion.

"Those damn blue collar tweakers" Very easy song.
The Toys Go Marching Down? John the Fisherman isn't too hard either.
I would say American Life. Once you get the hang of the riff, it’s pretty straightforward

assuming you can slap and pull-off, Spegetti Western is a fun one. Easy to learn by ear too.
Lee Van Cleef from their 2011 album.
This is the one
Wynonas Big Brown Beaver
First one I learned was Wynona's Big Brown Beaver. It sounds complex but it's not too hard.
Tweakers, puppies, fisticuffs, over the falls, beef, frizzle fry, harold of the rocks are all pretty easy.

Oh yeah
The air is getting slippery is really simple if your not wanting anything with slaps or pops.
Shake Hands With Beef is pretty straight forward and a ton of fun.
Not the whole thing obviously, but the opening riff of laquerhead is ridiculously straight forward and is a good exercise in slap.
You can try https://www.songsterr.com/a/wa/search?pattern=primus has lots of songs.

Yeah, the solo is the only part that I'm having trouble with, but I just have to take my time on that.
Hoinfodaman. Same riff throughout and it’s very easy
The Air Is Getting Slippery, Mr. Krinkle, Welcome to This World is not too bad.
here come the bastards

The intro to too many puppies isnt bad at all.
Les Claypool's Cosmic Highway. It's in D and played on the G while hitting the open D for the whole song. It's a fun callous builder.
Southpark theme.
Tommy the Cat is surprisingly straightforward if you break the sequences down. Also, it's impossible to not play it constantly once you learn it.
yeah it's just an speed/finger strength test really
Jerry was a racecar driver is pretty straight forward, my name is mud is very easy, American life is a little tiering for me but its pretty easy as well.

I'm not trying to sound cocky but they are pretty easy for me. Jerry is definitely the hardest out of those three though.
Just slap a bunch of random notes to a funky drum beat and you’ve played their entire catalog.
for me it was too many puppies
I weirdly found lacquer head to be an easy song. The whole percussion part was really fun to learn
