'''"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. [[Chris]] has described it in an [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] edit as his "[[Love Quest|sweetheart search]] theme song." 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 [[troll]] put it up there and is making money off of Chris's work.

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]].

It should be reiterated that Chris has only used racial slurs when prompted by trolls or when quoting songs and TV shows.

Niggos is one of Chris's many minced oaths, this one meant to refer to black people. While he only used the term once, it has become a popular term among Christorians that use it to allude to Chris's history of problematic behavior where African American people are concerned.

His only known use of the term was in the 3 March 2009 chat, where BlueSpike coerced him into saying a phrase ending with a racial slur. Chris repeated the line as ordered, but ignored his instructions and attempted to outsmart BlueSpike by saying "niggos" instead of the dreaded N-word. Chris has never again used the word "niggo" and probably doesn't even remember the whole incident. Nonetheless, "niggo" is still considered a CWC-ism, and is classified as a CWC-neologism.

It should be reiterated that Chris has only used racial slurs when prompted by trolls or when quoting songs and TV shows. While his handling of race relations in his webcomic and in real life is definitely cringe-inducing, it's likely that the usage of slurs comes less from a place of deep-seated racial hatred and ignorance on his part, and it's more often a result of Chris flipping his lid after being manipulated.
