The Whale is an instrumental by the Electric Light Orchestra.
Track fifteen from their hugely successful 1977 double LP Out of the Blue. The song features the keyboard talents of Richard Tandy more so than any other, as well as the usual orchestration. The song also appeared on the b-side of their US single "It's Over" in 1978 and a remastered version on their compilation Flashback. Composer Jeff Lynne was moved to write the instrumental piece after watching a documentary on the killing of whales.
