- The only song on Voodoo Lounge that was not produced by Don Was. To be clear - it was not Was. Bob Clearmountain produced it.
- Mick (1994): "'Waitresses with broken noses' - that's Ronnie Wood's specialty. He knew every waitress in Dublin, and so I thought I'd put that line in for him. I like that song. I really got into the lyrics on that one. One of the wordy ones."
- This features Mick Jagger on electric guitar (he plays a red Kramer) and Phil Jones on percussion. A member of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, percussionist Jones joined the Stones' camp at the same time as bandmate Benmont Tench, contributing to Voodoo Lounge. He's also worked on albums by Bob Dylan and the Tragically Hip among others.
- Here is how the band members explain where the title of the album comes from. Says Ron Wood: "[The title comes from] the granny flat that I built for my mum. Immediately Keith moved in and he did this hand-drawn sign, 'Doc's Office and Voodoo Lounge,' and stuck it in the window."
- Keef explained: "The record company's screaming at us, 'We need a title, an angle, artwork.' Then, suddenly, Mick turns around and says, 'Your sign.'" He added: "I'm the doc. It's like a ritual, a fetish... We agonized over (the title). And it was staring us in the face. Finally, it was Mick who said, 'What about Voodoo Lounge? Why not? Kind of like Beggars Banquet. Right number of syllables.' I was really pissed with myself, though, after painting the sign and all. I'm usually the one with the cheap ideas, not Mick. His are usually real expensive."
- This song was recorded at Ronnie Wood's pub in Ireland. Charlie had his drums at the bottom of the stairwell and they were recorded there. Hence the massive sound.
- The final verse includes the line "alcoholic c*nts like knives," which evidently sounded close enough to "cuts like knives" to get past radio censors.
