"Christian" is a song by China Crisis. It was released as a single from their 1982 debut album Difficult Shapes & Passive Rhythms, Some People Think It's Fun to Entertain and was the band's first major success on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 12 in February 1983. The track features an unusual sliding bass line, and although played live by the band bassist Gary Johnson on many occasions, the bass in the original recording was played on a fretless bass by Andy Pask of 'Landscape' (Einstein A Go-Go), also co-writer of the theme from 'The Bill'
