My recollection of the "Born on the Bayou (CCR)" lyrics is that the word is Voodoo, which is a Haitian/Cajun southern and swampy word for evil magic. Voodoo has many pronunciations and spellings including hoodoo.

Hoodoo is a geologic term for the rock stacks, as seen in this picture, in the US desert southwest.

Really depends on the area! Some places in utah have 10 or so really magnificent ones, Bryce canyon has tens of thousands all clustered together in spines from the canyon rim. This area had the most I've ever seen that are all free standing on their own and not connected. They ranged in size from hundreds of feet high, to a few inches.
