There's a song (using that word somewhat loosely) by Magazine 60 in
which an Englishman repeatedly asks on telephone for "Mister Don
Quichotte" /'ki SOt/, and a woman replies with growing impatience "No
seqor, Don Quixote y Sancho Panza no estan aqum."  (There's also a sung
refrain, "Don Quixote y Sancho Panza / hoy tambiin siguen luchando")

Does anyone in fact say <Quichotte> (the French form) in English?
