Save Each Other, the Whales Are Doing Fine is ska punk band Patent Pending's debut studio album. The original name of the CD was Save The Children, The Whales Are Doing Fine, but it was changed due to a threat to sue by the Save the Children Foundation. The title reflects the environmental concept of save the whales. Because the band didn't have the budget to fight their case in court, they were forced to change the name. Because of the changing of the name, and a few other minor legal and technical issues, the CD/DVD was pushed back one month. It came out on June 6, instead of May 9.

The CD was released with a bonus DVD which was filmed on January 13th, 2006 at Alley Katz in Richmond, Virginia with some portions filmed on February 24th, 2006 at Calvary Lutheran Church in East Meadow, New York.
