"Christine Sixteen" is a song by American hard rock band Kiss. It originally appeared on their 1977 album ''Love Gun''. Released as a single in the US in 1977, the song peaked at #25 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart that year, and did well in Canada, peaking at #22. Written and sung by bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons, the song is about an older man with a crush on a 16-year-old girl named Christine. The song's subject and lyrics were controversial and made some hit radio stations reluctant to put it on their playlists, while others (including WABC in the band's home town of New York, and WKBW in Buffalo) only played it after 7 PM as an album cut. The song's title was originated by bandmate Paul Stanley who was planning to write a song under the title, until Simmons beat him to it.〔Leaf, David and Ken Sharp.

Both versions run 3:10. The song was sampled by Tone Lōc in his 1989 song "Funky Cold Medina". The song was covered by the Gin Blossoms on the 1994 Kiss tribute album ''Kiss My Ass: Classic Kiss Regrooved'' and by All on ''Hard to Believe: Kiss Covers Compilation''. The song was also covered by punk/goth band The Nuns on their 2003 album ''New York Vampires''. ==Credited personnel== *Gene Simmons - lead vocals, bass guitar *Ace Frehley - lead guitar *Paul Stanley - rhythm guitar, backing vocals *Peter Criss - drums *Eddie Kramer - piano 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christine Sixteen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
