Ok I need more help finding a song 09:55 - Jun 28 with 3238 viewsThe_Flashing_Smile

Another obscure 90's indie band. I think the song's called Christina and the lyrics go;

"Christina,
Oh my christina,
Oh my Christina,
What happened to the girl I knew?"

And towards the end there are several "shoo be doo wop"s.

Any ideas?

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

But you were wrong about the lyrics - unless my earlier answer was wrong?

I know, I was just playing along.

Semi-serious about the Saxon camp songs though.

Edit: only 6 thousand odd possibilities on here:

But what if you're misremembering the lyrics?

Or misheard them in the first place??

I reckon by the end of the thread you'll have realised that it's Funky Cold Medina by Tone Loc.

Well it doesn't look to be any of the ones for "Christina" that are listed here...

Thought that might narrow it down a little more, but alas, doesn't seem to have done.

You sure it's 'Christina' and not something like 'Bob'?

No, Bob is short for Kate.

I'm betting on it not being a song at all but a poem by Christina Rossetti.

Of course, that's it! The Music Hall song "Christina needing stuffing":

Half past eight on Christmas Eve,
Her mother said "You've nothing!
To put inside tomorrow's goose
Christina- you need stuffing!"

Christina,
Oh my christina,
Oh my Christina,
What happened to the girl I knew?
She needed stuffing, that much is true!
When the dockers heard it, the air turned blue!
Christina,
Oh my christina,
Oh my Christina,
What happened to the girl I knew?

Around she went, here and there,
Ended up towards the docks
When the workers heard her cry
They almost emptied out their cocks*

Christina,
Oh my christina,
Oh my Christina,
What happened to the girl I knew?
She needed stuffing, that much is true!
When the dockers heard it, the air turned blue!
Christina,
Oh my christina,
Oh my Christina,
What happened to the girl I knew?

Eventually she came to Bow
Where a fella in the know
Helped her come to understand
By placing his sausage in her hand...

Christina,
Oh my christina,
Oh my Christina,
A solution offered, far from rash
The day is saved if you've got the cash**
Stuffing made from Bangers and mash
Christina,
Oh my christina,
Oh my Christina,
What happened to the girl I knew?


* sociological footnote: dock workers were poorly paid in Victorian England, and so were unable to afford Goose for Christmas, instead having to make do with any old cockerel. Clearly Christina's tale of woe led several to consider scraping out the stuffing from their own bird to offer it to the poor girl.

** economic footnote: Bangers and Mash has always been the high class option for a London lad on the Town. It is thought that in the 1890s the stuffing replacement would have cost Christina about 1 Guinea and 1 Crown, or just shy of a hundred quid in todays money.
