voodoo chile or child?

[EJV]

Is it voodoo child or chile-the famous Jimi Hendrix song?What does the "CHILE" mean? How is it pronounced?

[Loosehead]

It's "Voodoo Child"

[littleoldme]

The title is actually Voodoo Chile, but the 'Chile' is just a corruption of child. It's pronounced as it reads, not "chilly" like the South American country.

Presumably it's just the way Jimi Hendrix would pronounce it.

[Loosehead]

You mean the actual title is "Voodoo Child" but it is not pronounced correctly.

[Ouisch]

"Chile", pronounced "chy-ull", is a variation (usually from the American south) of the word "child."
