Type O Negative - Christian Woman


"Christian Woman" is a song by Type O Negative, included on their third album Bloody Kisses, released in 1993. It is the band's landmark song that propelled Type O Negative into mainstream popularity. It has '80s ethereal wave edge. The song is about a Christian woman complicating her thoughts about God. Pete Steele told Revolver, "[Christian woman] 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."
This song is split into three cantos. The first canto, "Body of Christ (Corpus Christi)", is a radio hit and the only canto played on the single. The second canto, "To Love God", features sitar and tambura. The third canto, "Jesus Christ Looks Like Me", features the use of cowbells. The title of the third canto is taken from the title of the supposed third Carnivore album that didn't happen. There is an official music video for this song.  From: https://typeonegative.fandom.com/wiki/Christian_Woman
