I Walk on Guilded Splinters
"I Walk on Guilded Splinters" (sometimes "I Walk on Gilded Splinters" or "Walk On Gilded Splinters") is a song written by Mac Rebennack using his pseudonym of Dr. John Creaux. It first appeared as the closing track of his 1968 debut album ''Gris-Gris'', credited to Dr. John the Night Tripper. The song has subsequently been recorded by many other musicians, including Cher, Marsha Hunt, Johnny Jenkins, Humble Pie, the Allman Brothers Band, Paul Weller and Jello Biafra.
==Title and origins==
According to Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI), the legal title of the song is “I Walk on Guilded Splinters”.〔(“I Walk On Guilded Splinters”, ''BMI Repertoire'' ). Retrieved 8 October 2014〕 The original liner notes for ''Gris-Gris'' contained several unconventional spellings, such as “dreged” and “reincannted”, and many later versions of the song have used the orthodox spelling “…Gilded…” rather than “…Guilded…”.
Dr. John stated that the song was based on a traditional voodoo church song. He said: "It's supposed to be 'Splendors', but I turned it into 'Splinters'... I just thought splinters sounded better and I always pictured splinters when I sung it."〔( ''The Mojo Collection: 4th Edition'', Canongate Books, 2007, p.133 )〕 The New Orleans musician Coco Robicheaux, whose name is called out in the song, said:〔(Ned Soublette, "Coco Robicheaux", ''BOMB'', 19 February 2008 ). Retrieved 8 October 2014〕”Dr. John, he was very much interested in metaphysics... In voodoo they call the gilded splinters the points of a planet. Mystically they appear like little gilded splinters, like little gold, like fire that holds still. They’re different strengths at different times. I guess it ties in with astrology, and influence the energy. That’s what that’s about.”
