==Music Video==
'''"So Need a Cute Girl"''' is the first track off of [[Christian and the Hedgehog Boys]]'s [[Christian and the Hedgehog Boys (album)|eponymous debut album]]. It is sung over a live version of "{{w|I Want It That Way}}" by the {{w|Backstreet Boys}} on their 2000 '''Into the Millennium Tour'''.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_KRcrMD5uU&t=5890s</ref> [[Chris]] has described it in an [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] edit as his "[[Love Quest|sweetheart search]] theme song."<ref name="ed"/> It is arguably his greatest hit, and certainly the Hedgehog Boys song Chris goes back to most often; as well as the performances listed below, impromptu features appear in a number of his videos.


Filmed in December [[2004]] to promote Christian's [[Love Quest]]. Don't miss the rare B-side track, "[[All I Want For Christmas is a Pretty Girlfriend]]"
Bizarrely enough, since [[November 2013]] the song has been available for download for 89 cents on Amazon's MP3 store. As Chris has never mentioned this, it is very likely a [[Carpetbaggers|carpetbagger]] put it up there to make money off of it without his permission.


<center>{{#ev:youtube|QlI9glOj56k}}</center>
In 2016, Chris made a [[Singing an ol' diddy|remake]] of the song for the Paid Video Requests, replacing the words "I have a boyfriend" with "I'm already taken" to include [[tomgirl|lesbians]]. In a [[2017]] retrospective, Chris admitted that hearing his old song made him cringe, also misidentifying the original artist behind the song as {{w|*NSYNC}} instead of the Backstreet Boys.<ref>[[September 2017 Facebook posts#Opinion on Sachumo's CWC Documentary|"And then, I heard the old song I sang, that makes me cringe now, in tune to "I Want It That Way" from N*Sync..."]]</ref>

==Lyrics==
[''sung over The Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way"'']
(to the music of The Backstreet Boy's "I Want It That Way")


I'm sitting here sad and lonely<br/>
[[Chris and his ego|Hey! Look at me!]]<br>
Without a fire<br/>
I'm sitting here sad and lonely!<br>
But a desire<br/>
To not hear you say<br/>
[[Noiophobia|I have a Boyfriend]]<br/>


And I see the Ladies<br/>
Without a [[2014 house fire|fire]],<br>
Walking along one by one<br/>
But a desire<br>
And I never wanna hear<br/>
To ''not'' hear you say,<br>
I have a Boyfriend<br/>
[[Noviophobia|"I have a boyfriend!"]]<br>


Tell me why<br/>
And I see da ladies walking<br>
I'm stuck as a [[Virgin with Rage]] ''[originally "I'm stuck in a sad, lonely cage"]''<br/>
Along one by one,<br>

And I never wanna hear,<br>
I so need a cute Girl my age<br/>
"I have a boyfriend!"<br>
Tell me why<br/>
I aint never wanna hear you say<br/>

"I have a boyfriend!"<br>
Tell me why<br/>
I aint never wanna hear you say<br/>

I so need a cute girl my age!<br>
(Tell me why)<br>
I ain’t ever wanna hear you say,<br>
"I have a boyfriend!"<br>


==Remakes==
Never say it, now!
As one of Christian's most popular songs, the song has inspired its share of remakes:


<center>
<span style="font-size:x-small">&#42; ''In some versions of the song, "as a virgin with rage" is replaced by the alternative lyric "in a sad, lonely cage."''</span>
{{#ev:youtube|mGo3yyFZKaw}}</center>


While the remake has taken quite artistic liberties over the original in terms of lyrics, this is an improvement as the woman in question actually bothered to learn the music for the song and play it on an acoustic guitar while singly clearly, as opposed to talking over a BSB CD playing in the background.
<span style="font-size:x-small">*&#42; ''In some versions of the song, "I ain't ever wanna hear you say, / I have a boyfriend" is replaced by the alternative lyric "I really mean it when I say, / I need a girlfriend."''</span>


<span style="font-size:x-small">*&#42; ''In a version of the lyrics posted by Chris in one of [[List of Chris's edits to Encyclopedia Dramatica|his ED edits]], these lyrics are changed to "I mean it when I say, 'I NEED A SWEETHEART.'"<ref name="ed"/>''</span>
<span style="font-size:x-small">*&#42; ''In more recent versions, he replaces "I have a boyfriend!" with "I'm already taken!"'"<ref name="ed"/>''</span>

On 12 [[July 2009]], one of Chris's "friends" uploaded Christian and the Hedgehog Boys giving [[Chris's Big Night Out II|their first public performance]] (sans the Hedgehog Boys, though Chris probably imagined they were there in his head), with their song "So Need a Cute Girl." Perhaps in an attempt to come off as less creepy, Chris opts to use the "sad, lonely cage" lyrics instead of the "virgin with rage" one. Although his performance is predictably sleep-inducing, for the most part, Chris's added "flourish" at the very end of the video (in which, in an attempt to evoke Michael Jackson, he <s>slaps his hand on</s> grabs his crotch) makes for an unforgettable couple of seconds.

Latest revision as of 03:50, 26 September 2024

Such words were never more true, but if I didn't feel the sadness, lonliness [sic] or torture in my heart from after my first encounter with that Witch Bitch, I might be a fuckin' weak sap, instead of the SALTY, AGGRESSIVE, and TRULY SWEET TO THE LADIES and NOT TO MOST MEN type of MAN that I AM.
Chris commenting on "So Need a Cute Girl," 11 November 2007 ED edit.[1]

"So Need a Cute Girl" is the first track off of Christian and the Hedgehog Boys's eponymous debut album. It is sung over a live version of "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys on their 2000 Into the Millennium Tour.[2] Chris has described it in an Encyclopedia Dramatica edit as his "sweetheart search theme song."[1] It is arguably his greatest hit, and certainly the Hedgehog Boys song Chris goes back to most often; as well as the performances listed below, impromptu features appear in a number of his videos.

Bizarrely enough, since November 2013 the song has been available for download for 89 cents on Amazon's MP3 store. As Chris has never mentioned this, it is very likely a carpetbagger put it up there to make money off of it without his permission.

In 2016, Chris made a remake of the song for the Paid Video Requests, replacing the words "I have a boyfriend" with "I'm already taken" to include lesbians. In a 2017 retrospective, Chris admitted that hearing his old song made him cringe, also misidentifying the original artist behind the song as *NSYNC instead of the Backstreet Boys.[3]

Lyrics

[sung over The Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way"]

Hey! Look at me!
I'm sitting here sad and lonely!

Without a fire,
But a desire
To not hear you say,
"I have a boyfriend!"

And I see da ladies walking
Along one by one,
And I never wanna hear,
"I have a boyfriend!"

Tell me why
I'm stuck as a virgin with rage!
Tell me why
I so need a cute girl my age!
Tell me why
I ain't ever wanna hear you say,
"I have a boyfriend!"

And I have no fire
But a desire
To not hear you say,
"I have a boyfriend!"

Tell me why
I'm stuck as a virgin with rage!
(Tell me why)
I so need a cute girl my age!
(Tell me why)
I ain't ever wanna hear you say,
"I have a boyfriend!"

Why do all of the jerks
Get all of the pretty girls? (Yeah!)
You may not notice,
But I want you to know
That I am a lonesome heart!

And I have no fire,
But a desire
To not, to not, to not
Heeeaaar…

Stuck as a virgin with rage!
So need a cute girl my age!
I never wanna hear you say,
"I have a boyfriend!"

Tell me why
I'm stuck as a virgin with rage!
(Tell me why)
I so need a cute girl my age!
(Tell me why)
I ain't ever wanna hear you say,
"I have a boyfriend!"

Tell me why
I'm stuck as a virgin with rage!
I so need a cute girl my age!
(Tell me why)
I ain’t ever wanna hear you say,
"I have a boyfriend!"

Never say it, now!

* In some versions of the song, "as a virgin with rage" is replaced by the alternative lyric "in a sad, lonely cage."

** In some versions of the song, "I ain't ever wanna hear you say, / I have a boyfriend" is replaced by the alternative lyric "I really mean it when I say, / I need a girlfriend."
