The Leopards' Lunch Lament
A Musical Guide to Voting Against Your Own Face's Interests
In this installment of Mixtape on the Titanic: When your "leopards will only eat OTHER people's faces" party has some unexpected menu changes.
Inspired by the internet’s infamous “Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party” meme, this WAG TEAM production dives into the delicious irony of watching voters embrace policies that eventually maul their own well-being. (Spoiler: the leopards were never that picky.) Those weren't someone else's eggs in the basket after all.
Starring:
Several surprisingly picky leopards
One increasingly empty egg basket
Moby's "I told you so" expression
The last remaining facial features
Some very technical definitions of "not eating your face"
Special appearances by:
Your last remaining souvenirs
The Leopard Committee's meeting minutes
Several "This is fine" memes
One very technical interpretation of "face-eating"
Democracy's suggestion box (slightly chewed)
With bonus footage of:
The "But They Promised!" support group
Multiple eggs making their escape
Several "I never thought the leopards would eat MY face" testimonials
The Leopard Party's evolving dietary guidelines
Context:
The “Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party” meme, born of a sardonic internet spirit, captures the exasperating phenomenon of voters supporting policies or politicians that directly harm them. It’s a darkly comedic take on political irony: imagine someone gleefully voting for a “leopards eat faces” candidate, only to lament, “I never thought the leopards would eat MY face!”
In The Leopards’ Lunch Lament, we explore this concept through the lens of musical satire. Whether it’s skyrocketing costs, lost freedoms, or the slow erosion of their own rights, the song is a reflection on the messy aftermath of putting blind faith in a system—or a leopard—that was always poised to strike.
On Spotify, Apple Music, and wherever else fine political regrets are documented.

The Leopards' Lunch Lament
I voted for leopards, they promised such fun Said they'd eat other faces, but surely not one Of their loyal supporters who gave them their all Now I'm missing my nose, and my cheeks, and my jaw! Oh, who could have known that the leopards would bite? Despite all the warnings, I thought I'd be right! Now I'm facing the facts as my face disappears But at least I owned libs with my last souvenirs! They promised they'd only eat eggs from the nest Of those other folks' chickens - you know, all the rest But now here I sit with my basket all bare As they lick their lips clean without seeming to care! Oh, who could have known that the leopards would bite? Despite all the warnings, I thought I'd be right! Now I'm facing the facts as my face disappears But at least I owned libs with my last souvenirs! The leopards are purring, they're having a feast I thought I'd be safe if I sided with beasts Now they're nibbling my ears with such elegant grace As I argue they're technically not eating my face! The leopard committee seemed perfectly fine When they ate other faces way back down the line But now that they're finished with everyone else They've developed a taste for supporters themselves! Oh, who could have known that the leopards would bite? Despite all the warnings, I thought I'd be right! Now I'm facing the facts as my face disappears But hey - at least I owned libs with my last souvenirs! So here's to the leopards, they sure got their fill And I'd vote for them still if I had a face, will, Or the ability now just to speak or to see... But at least all those others got eaten before me!
