Wikipedia article
"'Don't Kill the Whale'" is a single by the band Yes, released from their 1978 album 'Tormato'. It reached number 36 on the UK Singles Chart.
Content
The song, as with most of the album's tracks, was short compared to the songs on Yes's 1973 album 'Tales from Topographic Oceans'. Its style and lyrics make it "an unusually direct song for the group with its topical message", according to the band's website. However, that shift in style only helped make it a minor hit.
