This surprises me - given the character singing that particular song is
King Arthur, who I should think would be able to get away with, perhaps, a
Welsh or Cornish accent, but would otherwise be cast with a generic
"BBC English" accent - but NEVER a Spanish accent. Lancelot, perhaps -
given he's supposed to sound like he's from out of town...France, not
Spain, but given he was played by an Italian in the movie, who's going to
quibble?
