Under Pressure 

A song performed by the band Queen and co-written by David Bowie. The beat was shamefully ripped-off by Vanilla Ice. But even through that and all of time the song and all it's greatness will never die.
"Boom boom ba deh, boom boom ba deh, bubba boom ba beh beh

Pressure
Pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two, puts people on the streets

Boom ba ba beh, boom ba ba beh, bee deh dop, ee deh dop

It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends scream "Let me out"
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people
People on streets

Deh deh det, ooh, ba da da da bom, O K

Trippin' around (kick my brains 'round the floor)
These are the days (it never rains but it pours)

Ee do da dep, ee da do bop bop, ee do bop, dee bop

People on the streets, dee da dee da det
People on the streets, dee da dee da dee da dee da

It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends scream "Let me out"
Pray tomorrow gets me higher, higher, high

Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why, why, why?
Insanity laughs, under pressure we're cracking

Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love...?

'Cause love's such an old-fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves... Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure"

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
