Yes, Guy, Roger Miller as the singing minstrel/rooster is a highlight of that version of Robin Hood.

There are a couple of songs in the recent Master and Commander; one ballad is sung by the sailing master, several by the crew, one by the lieutenant with authority issues, and I'm pretty sure Jack himself gets a line of something in.

They also have a guy playing Uillean pipes aboard; VERY unlikely in that era aboard a British man o' war, but there you have it...that's Hollywood.
