"Don't Kill the Whale" is a song by the band Yes, released as a single from their 1978 album Tormato. It reached number 36 on the UK Singles Chart.[2]

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.[3] Its style and lyrics make it "an unusually direct song for the group with its topical message", according to the band's website.[4] However, that shift in style only helped make it a minor hit.[3]
