Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Voodoo People (Pendulum Mix). By Songfacts®.

The third single to be released from Music for the Jilted Generation, this hardcore techno glam rocker peaked at #13 on the UK singles chart.

The song reuses the grunge guitar riff from Nirvana's In Utero track "Very Ape" which is played by Lance Riddler. It also samples "You're Starting Too Fast" by Johnny Pate and "The Shalimar" by Gylan Kain.

The song's music video was directed by Walter Stern and Russell Curtis and was filmed on a banana plantation in Saint Lucia. Prodigy dancer Leeroy Thornhill played a voodoo priest and some scenes featuring real witch doctors were cut because of problems with television censorship. The Prodigy's Liam Howlett recalled the filming of the video to Q magazine: "The record label was paying, so we thought, 'Let's have a holiday.' The Live And Let Die things might have been my idea. There was no treatment. We just made it up as we went along. Good times." His band mate Maxim added: "There was no health and safety involved. Keith (Flint) was in a suitcase and I had to swerve the car around him. One of the extras nearly gets run over in the video."
