"Madalaine" is the debut single by American rock band Winger, from their self-titled debut album Winger. Released in 1988, the song reached #27 on the Mainstream rock Billboard charts. According to Kip Winger, it was one of the first four songs he and bandmate Reb Beach wrote when they first got together, based on a handful of riffs Reb had from when he was younger. Kip figured out how best to arrange the riffs, enabling the pair to complete the song.{{cite web|url=http://www.ccbanana.com/sludge/rewindkipwinger.htm |title=Metal Sludge Rewind with Kip Winger |publisher=Metal Sludge |accessdate=January 1, 2009 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090101015859/http://www.ccbanana.com/sludge/rewindkipwinger.htm |archivedate=January 1, 2009 }}
