Words that rhyme with Voodoo
In phonetic terms, voodoo is a two-syllable anchor on a closing /uห/, which doesn't close on a consonant at all. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. This one travels in song as a plain-speech anchor. Look up rhymes for voodoo and you'll get a particular story: there's a deep bench of perfect rhymes here, the family column is blank, and the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. The strict list is rich enough to anchor the whole song.

Why voodoo rhymes the way it does
Voodoo sits on a closing /uห/, transcribed /uห/ in our engine, and ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 176 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 929, assonance 1,690, and consonance 0. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Voodoo is a word that benefits from the second pass.
