Song Meaning of “Witch Doctor” by Cooltime Kids
“Witch Doctor” by Cooltime Kids is a whimsical song that tells the story of a person who turns to a Witch Doctor for help with a problem that isn’t necessarily stated in the lyrics. The narrator in the song is desperate for a solution and turns to a more mystical source of power to get answers.
The chorus “ooh eeh ooh aah aah” suggests a reverberating, mysterious energy coming from the Witch Doctor and an indication that the mysterious figure will provide a solution. The upbeat rhythm of the song creates a lighthearted mood and hopeful outlook.
The Witch Doctor is represented as someone who understands a problem that is too chaotic or complex for conventional solutions and can penetrate the darkness and reveal the answer. The song is a reminder that is ok to reach out to something beyond our own understanding and seek for an answer that only a supernatural power can provide.
At the end of the song, the narrator is given the solution they’ve always been looking for. The listener is left with the enthusiastic, energetic chorus of the Witch Doctor’s mantra and the narrator’s satisfaction from the help received – a reminder that the solutions we search for will always eventually come.
