That Voodoo
Adam And The Ants · Other Songs - Adam And The Ants
The shimmy lights through you
And no one can voodoo the voodoo
You do, do to me, yeah
I'm sorry if I'm not that tough
But not that tough is tough enough
Besides, the rough tough end up shuffled
Or in an alleyway anyway
I'm sorry if I'm not that smart
But not that smart is just a part
Of speaking firmly from the heart
Any day, anyway
That voodoo that you do
The shimmy lights through you
And no one can voodoo the voodoo
You do, do to me, yeah
That voodoo that you do
The shimmy lights through you
And no one can voodoo the voodoo
You do, do to me, yeah
A thrill a day keeps the chill away
Love like a dagger and a sound like a wymowhah
A thrill a day keeps the chill away
Love like a dagger and a sound like a wymowhah

That Voodoo
Released by Adam and the Ants, "That Voodoo" stands as a defining track within the band's unique fusion of Caribbean calypso rhythms and New Wave pop. The song exemplifies the group's signature theatrical style, characterized by flamboyant costumes, dramatic vocals, and a distinct blend of traditional Caribbean instrumentation with modern production techniques. As a key component of their discography, the recording captures the essence of the early 1980s dance floor, where the Ants reimagined Caribbean culture through a lens of high-energy performance art. Its enduring appeal lies in its infectious groove and the seamless integration of the band's persona into the music itself, cementing their status as pioneers of the Eurodance genre.
