Song Trivia "Under The Sea" won the Academy Award for Best Song. -Thanks to Nick Napolitano

Originally it had been planned that Sebastian have a British accent, but the movie's songwriters were looking for something a bit more upbeat and foot-tapping for the music and so it was decided to give Sebastian's two numbers West Indian rhythms, sung and voiced by the amazing Samuel E. Wright.
