"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.[4]
