I'm Your Puppet
words and music by Bobby and James Purify
Pull the string and I'll wink at you, I'm your puppet
I'll do funny things if you want me to, I'm your puppet
I'll be yours to have and to hold
Darling you've got full control of your puppet
Pull another string and I'll kiss your lips, I'm your puppet
Snap your finger and I'll turn you some flips, I'm your puppet
Your every wish is my command
All you gotta do is wiggle your little hand
I'm your puppet, I'm your puppet
I'm just a toy, just a funny boy
That makes you laugh when you're blue
I'll be wonderful, do just what I'm told
I'll do anything for you
I'm your puppet, I'm your puppet
Pull them little strings and I'll sing you a song, I'm your puppet
Make me do right or make me do wrong, I'm your puppet
Treat me good and I'll do anything
I'm just a puppet an you hold my string, I'm your puppet
Yeah, I'm your puppet
Walking, talking, living, loving puppet
I'm hanging on a string girl, I'll do anything now
I'm a walking, talking, living, loving puppet, and I love you
I'm a smiling happy face when you want me to
Even make you happy when you're feeling blue
El culto de VERY BE CAREFUL es algo inexplicable. Desde sus raíces humildes, tocando en los trenes de Nueva York, los cafés de Los Angeles y cualquier rumba que se les apareciera, sus audientes quedaban asombrados de la buena onda que immediatamente los convertirían en fanáticos. Los BE CAREFUL rápidamente se crearon una reputación de parranderos y animadores, y los que no conocen, pronto aprenden que la rumba BE CAREFUL no es simplemente un chance para bailar y gozar, es un DESPLIEGUE la BERRAQUERA, orquestado por cinco jovenes con un celo incontrolable por la música vallenata y el furor que inspira.
Han alegrado el pueblo desde California a Nueva York, Europa, México y el Japón, tocando en las calles, los trenes, festivales, bodas y fiestas, tanto como los gran escenarios del Copacabana, SOB’s, House of Blues, Central Park Summerstage, Glastonbury UK, Fuji Rock Japon, junto con estrellas internacionales como Carlos Vives, Joe Strummer, Grupo Niche, Gogol Bordello, Alfredo Gutierrez, y Fruko y sus Tesos.
De sus seis previos discos - El Niño (1998 Pinto Records), Cheap Chillin (1999 De Volada Records), The Rose (2001 Downtown Pijao), El Grizz (2002 Downtown Pijao), Ñacas (2005 Downtown Pijao), y Salad Buey (2007 Downtown Pijao) - se escuchan varios éxitos cumbiamberos en las emisoras y nightclubs sonideras del Sur de California igual como en México y Argentina. Fuera de eso, tambien se ven actuando los integrantes BE CAREFUL en la pelicula experimental, The Tooth (2003 Downtown Pijao).
Ahora con el estreno del CD, Horrible Club (2009 Downtown Pijao), el cual es una coleccion de tocadas en vivo, Los VBC se encuentran de nuevo proliferando el amor vallenato por todo el planeta e introduciendo nuevos clásicos para disfrutar de costa a costa. Siguen dedicados al rescate de la cultura Colombiana con un aire de alegría y un estilo sinceramente respetuoso al vallenato de tradición. VERY BE CAREFUL garantiza algo refrescante y aun nostálgico, con pasión costeña y la vulnerabilidad de los enamorados.
Adventure has never been a task for VBC. A Caribbean soul and a California heart have sustained a decade of ceaseless romp-downs and raucous times for L.A.’s vallenato veteranos, inciting 10s of 1000s of men, women, children, and even some wild animals, to boogie to the Colombian coastal beat. From the debaucherous streets of: Austin’s SXSW, and Germany’s WorldCupTour ’06; to the cultural pinnacles of: Chicago’s SummerDanceSeries, New York’s CentralParkSummerstage, Los Angeles’ GrandPerformances, Silver Lake’s SunsetJunctionStreetFair; colossal concerts: L.A. Sports Arena CumbiaFest, GlastonburyMusicFestival UK, and FujiRockFestival Japan; clubs and hubs: N.Y.’s SOBs, L.A.’s HOBs, backyard BBQs, VeryBeCareful has tamed the beasts within or unleashed the ones without.
Bootlegged across Latin America, pumped at the clubs, and ripped on the radio and satellite stations of Japan, Argentina, Mexico, England, Belgium, Australia, Canada and the USA, VeryBeCareful forges ahead globetrotting alongside legends and antiheros: JoeStrummer, AlfredoGutierrez, Antibalas, CarlosVives, DubTrio, GrupoNiche, KronosQuartet, GogolBordello. Their infamous ten year traditions hosting old school “dances” for Valentine’s Day, New Year’s Eve, Halloween and the legendary July 4th Brooklyn “Cumbia Under The Sparks” rooftop affair, has brought together people from around the globe itchin’ for those early roots sounds that prove a stripped down parranda is sometimes fiercer, and funner, than a bleedin’ riot.
Their latest cd, Horrible Club (Downtown Pijao 2009), is a collection of raucous bootleg recordings from 1998-2009 and captures the reckless abandon of a VBC show where anything can happen. From the 1998 Pinto Records’ El Niño (produced by Money Mark), 1999 De Volada Records’ Cheap Chillin, Downtown Pijao’s 2001 The Rose, 2002 El Grizz, 2003 film The Tooth (which stars the band), 2005 Ñacas, 2007 Salad Buey… to the raw wildness of Horrible Club, VBC flies that “booty-shakin’ firestorm” flag higher than ever!!
