"Voodoo" comes from Godsmack's self-titled album and went out as its third single. Singer Sully Erna wrote it with bassist Robbie Merrill, and it's the band at its most hypnotic: a slow, swaying, tribal pulse and a hushed, incantatory vocal that coils tighter instead of blowing up.
It's the last track listed, but not the last thing you hear. After about two minutes of silence, the hidden track "Witch Hunt" creeps in, stretching a 4:39 song to 9:03 on the clock. It climbed to 5 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart and 6 on Modern Rock Tracks, and it stayed in the band's head long enough to earn a sequel, "Voodoo Too", on IV in 2006.
