The Art of the Steal (Geography Edition)
When Maps Meet MAGA: A Musical Guide to Geographic Gaslighting
Move over Bible Edition,1 it’s time for a new hit single: The Art of the Steal: Geography Edition. Featuring Wag Team’s freshest release, this chart-topper lands somewhere between cartography, chaos, and capitalism. Because if you’re going to remix cultural commentary, why not start with the borders themselves?
The world, much like the track’s catchy refrain, is a puzzle of lines and labels. But while some see order, Wag Team sees opportunity—a chance to riff on the arbitrariness of borders and the bizarre dance of global trade. If The Art of the Steal: Bible Edition was a gospel for capitalist salvation, Geography Edition is its cartographic karaoke cousin, complete with riffs, riffs, and riffs some more (riffs).

Here it is. The Art of the Steal. Geography Edition.
What Makes This Hit Different?
Where the Bible Edition leaned on spiritual satire, Geography Edition takes us globetrotting, with Wag Team questioning the very lines that divide us. Why does one side of a river speak one language and the other another? Why does the invisible hand of the market keep picking our pockets? And most importantly, why is the map upside down in that one chorus? (Hint: it’s not a mistake—it’s a statement.)
The Wag Team delivers this commentary in their signature style: a mix of biting satire, catchy hooks, and visuals that practically scream “add me to your geopolitical playlist.”
Geography is a Social Construct
When it comes to the Gulf of Mexico—sorry, The Gulf of America—who needs cartographers when you’ve got branding experts? From renaming oceans to buying Greenland, the GOP’s “America First” policy is rewriting maps faster than textbooks can be banned.
Welcome to a world where:
Wind turbines are public enemy #1 (the cancer thing, dontcha know).
The Gulf gets rebranded—because it worked for Trump Steaks, right?
Greenland is not for sale (despite Trump’s best real estate pitch).
Climate Crisis is just a buzzword, and Monopoly money is the currency of political denial.
A Few Final Thoughts
If this track teaches us anything, it’s that the art of the steal isn’t confined to one domain. Borders blur, trade routes twist, and the world keeps spinning. Wag Team’s Geography Edition is both a celebration of this chaos and a sharp critique of the systems that perpetuate it.
So go ahead, hit play, and let the map reimagine itself as you listen. Just remember: in the Wag Team universe, no line is sacred, and every note is worth crossing.

The Art of the Steal (Geography Edition)
They say the Gulf’s a brand, not a name, “Mexico? Nah, it’s America’s claim.” Renaming the seas, playing monopoly, While the planet’s heating like a kettle of tea. Oh, they’re howling at the windmills, barking at the sun, Chasing their own tails, thinking the race is won. But we’re wagging through the nonsense, sniffing out the truth, ‘Cause a leash around your brain won’t save you in the booth. A faucet’s a menace, no water comes out, “Drip drip,” they cry, as the oceans shout. The turbines spin, the sharks still bite, And Greenland’s not for sale, no matter how you fight. Oh, they’re howling at the windmills, barking at the sun, Chasing their own tails, thinking the race is won. But we’re wagging through the nonsense, sniffing out the truth, ‘Cause a leash around your brain won’t save you in the booth. Fake wars, fake tears, fake Gulf Coast fears, A circus of clowns that the world reveres. But while they play chess with pawns in disguise, We see the emperor’s leash—and his pants are lies. So dig in the dirt, plant seeds of sense, Mark your territory with intelligence. And when the barking stops, and the quiet ensues, You’ll know the truth wasn’t just doggy news.

Shoutout to Jeff Tiedrich
Special thanks to the bard of batshittery, Jeff Tiedrich, whose takedowns of cognitive dissonance inspired us to color outside the lines—literally and figuratively. If maps are metaphors, then satire is the legend, and this post owes him a nod and a knowing wink. 2
