I don't get the hesitation? Of course it's Rick Wakeman!

Bigorna by the Brazilian band Cartoon is about the myth of King Arthur.

I’m not 100% sure but I think is the one!!! Thank you!! For some reason the album it’s off of wasn’t on Apple Music so I wasn’t able to find it when I was looking through the Strawbs discography.

Maybe something from this album?



I think it doesn't incorporate...

The seven wonders of the world he'll lay before your feet,
In far-off lands, on distant shores, so many friends to meet.
Are you sitting comfortably?
Let Merlin cast his spell.



That was the first song that popped in my mind.

^ Lady of the Lake or something like that, from The Strawbs themselves?

None of these seem to be the right one but thanks for all the responses (especially the Python!!). I wish I could remember more details about the lyrics but all I can recall was the fact that they discussed the exploits of King Arthur’s knights! The song had an early seventies prog feel with a little bit of folk influence (reminded me a lot of Strawbs).

Scuttling across the floors of uncertain seas

I'm looking for a song about King Arthur and the knights of Camelot. I believe it was from the 70s but I don't think it was from the Rick Wakeman album. Does anyone know any Camelot related songs that might fit the bill.

Thanks for your help!
