"Here in Your Bedroom" was Goldfinger's debut single, put out on Mojo in 1996 from the band's self-titled first album, and it's ska punk with its heart pinned right to its sleeve. Frontman John Feldmann built it out of his own love life: he was selling shoes, spent more than eight months carrying a torch for a woman who worked over in the dress department, and when the two finally got together it was brief, giddy and all-consuming.

The song bottles that rush, choppy upstrokes giving way to a big, bratty chorus, and Feldmann figured the whole episode paid off, since he got three songs out of it. It turned out to be the band's biggest chart hit, climbing to number five on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks and number 11 on Canada's RPM alternative chart.
