I use this function:

(defun rcd-kill-new (kill)
  (cond ((stringp kill) (progn 
			  (kill-new kill)
			  (rcd-message "Killed: %s" kill)))
	 (t (rcd-message "😧 WARNING: Nothing to kill."))))

You may change `rcd-message' to message.

If you wish to kill the list, then you need to do something like:

(kill-new (prin1-to-string '(1 2 3 "My" "List" 10 20))) ⇒ t

Then you do C-y:

(1 2 3 "My" "List" 10 20)
