"Christine Sixteen" is a song by the American hard rock band Kiss. The song originally appeared on their 1977 album Love Gun. Released as a single in the United States in 1977, the single peaked at #25 on the American Billboard Hot 100 charts that year, and would do 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 sixteen-year old girl named Christine. 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.[1] Two different time lengths of the single exist; one at 3:13, and another at 2:52.
The song was covered by the Gin Blossoms on the 1994 Kiss tribute album Kiss My Ass: Classic Kiss Regrooved.
