"Song of the World's Last Whale" is an anti-whaling song composed by Seeger in 1970 after he listened to the "whale song" discovered by Roger Payne.^[3] He gave its rights to the Whale Fund, an auxiliary of the New York Zoological Society which is concerned with whale conservation.^[4] Despite playing the song live, he did not record it officially until At 89.^[3]^[5]
