Be Careful What You Wish For... is the first album by Gabby La La, the multi-instrumentalist on Les Claypool's Prawn Song record label.
The album is written almost like children's music, using themes such as backpacks, elves and pirates. The overall sound seems to pay homage to the sound of an off-key circus calliope. Her range of instruments include a sitar, accordion, toy piano, and ukulele. Les Claypool produces and provides bass, drums and percussion.[2]
