Chocolate and Cheese, Ween's fourth album, came out in 1994 and yielded three singles, and "Voodoo Lady" was the last of them: a sticky slab of bayou blues with a chant running through it like a fever. Gene Ween sings as someone hopelessly tangled up with the title woman and whatever she's been working on him, Dean Ween's electric guitar slithers around the edges, and Claude Coleman, Jr. keeps bongos bubbling underneath. Andrew Weiss plays bass and produced, recorded and mixed it, letting the thing wind down slowly before one last blast of noise.
It's one of just two Ween songs, "Push th' Little Daisies" being the other, to reach Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart, where it peaked at 32. Flying Nun issued an EP version in the UK in January 1995, with cover art by Gene Ween.
