"Sleazy Bed Track" is a song by The Bluetones, released as the third single from their second album, 1998's Return to the Last Chance Saloon. It was also included on the band's 2006 compilation , and on the soundtrack to the 2010 Universal Pictures movie Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

The single contains the b-side "Blue", a cover version of the 1980s Rain Parade song.[1] Select magazine's review of "Sleazy Bed Track" in August 1998 marked its "astonishing resemblance" to "Fall at Your Feet" by Crowded House.[1] Music Week wrote: "[T]his track is a live favourite and an album standout. It's a swoony ballad with a wonderful melancholic feel which reveals a more mainstream approach to their songwriting."[2]
