Croatian cello duo 2Cellos have recorded an instrumental version for their album In2ition and have been performing it live on their subsequent tour.
The song has been covered by Refused and British funk band 6ix Toys as well remixed by Pendulum (see Voodoo People (Pendulum Remix)) and other known and less known artists such as Eskimo, Alvaro and Shayning. The British release included a remix by the Chemical Brothers. It has amassed over 11,7 million views as of September 2021. The video was published on YouTube in May 2008. A number of other more graphic versions of the video are available, one of them appearing in the Prodigy's Electronic Punks documentary. This version included scenes featuring real witch doctors, but these were cut because of problems with television censorship. It was filmed on location in Saint Lucia and it showed Leeroy Thornhill as a voodoo priest. The original music video was directed by Walter Stern and Russell Curtis. With The Prodigy as witchdoctor, of course." Videos Dele Fadele from NME wrote that "Voodoo People" "likens the rave scenario to a black magic ritual. Andy Beevers from Music Week rated it five out of five, adding that "this is one of their most accessible tracks with its rock guitar riffs and flute flurries." Brad Beatnik from the magazine's RM Dance Update noted, "It's a sort of Jethro Tull-goes-hardcore and the result is a brilliant slice of uncompromising yet defiantly commercial techno." Another editor, James Hamilton described it as "psychedelic guitar and flute prodded flurrying tribal techno".
