Talk:Voodoo Ray

Latest comment: 11 years ago by Nozem

Firstly, here's the sketch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDtkmOdYdKY and I don't hear the word "voodoo" in it. Help.

Secondly, there must be about 30 versions and remixes of this tune, all of which need to be added to the article in a table. Some I know of:

Paradise Ballroom mix

Voodoo Raydio mix

Extended mix

'12" mix'

Acid mix

Gerald's Rham on acid remix

(plus an ethnic drums mix I don't know the title of)

Mash Up mix

Penthouse mix

Tenaglia remix

Hardfloor remix

Hipp-E's remix

Edison Factor remix

Dabruck & Klein remix

Mystery remix

Naughty Naughty hardcore remix

Stanton Warriors remix

Perpetual Dawnz remix

Kill-Byte remix

Greg Wilson edit

Acid Brass cover

how about some cd titles? here's one: Back to Love 3, Hed Kandi Records, 2001, compilation, track 5 for the Rham on Acid Remix.
The sample's from Derek and Clive (Live), an LP; a long time ago I set out to verify the source, and it's definitely from the record; I'm infallible and also extremely reliable. From this transcription it's part of the line "You mean, in, in, in ..... in her, in her, sort of, errrrr, in her sort of voodoo rage .....", and indeed the "LATER!" sample comes from the same sketch. I surmise that the subject matter either amused or offended Gerald Simpson. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 00:23, 22 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
Got it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj3U1DQurew This is pretty irritating; if they're trying to poke fun at rich white racists, the irony is lost and the joke backfires, it sounds genuinely racist to me. If Gerald was offended I'm not surprised; and if he got some financial payback by pinching the sample, good for him! The track has hidden depths... -Chumchum7 (talk) 20:20, 20 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

If you need time codes, listen to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj3U1DQurew
'later!' (7 min 10 sec)
'voodoo rage'(7 min 34 sec)


The sketch is a 1972 hard hitting, biting, version of a satirical sketch by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, initially bootlegged by Chris Blackwell. Island Records released it on the album, 'Derek and Clive (Live)' [1] in 1976.

For Reference 4, in the main text, it would be stronger to use the original link: http://www.djhistory.com/interviews/a-guy-called-gerald

By the way, there is also 'Voodoo Rage', a version you can find on the album Black Secret Technology (Juice Box, 1995)[2]
