Song Meaning of “No Voodoo” by Allah-Las
No Voodoo is a classic surf-rock song by Los Angeles based rockers Allah-Las. The upbeat and infectious melody is complimented perfectly by the dreamy, almost spiritual yet light-hearted lyrics.
The song speaks to the idea of warding off the negative influences of voodoo – or the “evil eye” – and instead relying on the power of good. The chorus of “No Voodoo, just goodness here” is a reminder not to give in to the negative vibes of the world, and instead to focus on the good – both in yourself and in others.
The “voodoo” mentioned can be interpreted in many different ways, from the more obvious metaphorical reading of the song to the more spiritual beliefs of some cultures. Ultimately it is a call to all of us to be mindful of the effects our actions can have on those around us, and to strive to bring more good into our lives.
No Voodoo is an ode to the power of positive thinking and good vibes, and a reminder to us all that we have the power to create our own destinies – no voodoo required.
