"Christian Woman" is a single by gothic metal band Type O Negative from their 1993 album Bloody Kisses. It is one of two songs (the other being " Black No. 1") that people credit with propelling the band into the mainstream. [2] The song is inspired by a real woman with whom lead singer and song writer Peter Steele was once romantically involved. Steele told Revolver, "She was a Roman Catholic, much as I am, but she would get off on breaking the rules a little bit. She would ask me to dress up as a priest and, well, I guess you can just imagine what would happen after that. So, I guess you could say I have a bit of a priest infection." [3]
Two music videos exist for this song. The most well-known video, directed by Jon Reiss, [4] uses the radio edit of the song, which is four minutes and twenty-four seconds long. The other video uses the longer album version of the song, which has a significantly longer runtime of eight minutes and fifty-eight seconds. Both videos are available on the 1998 video album After Dark.
