I had a debate with a friend, myself arguing that Murcielago is pronounced 'Mur-chel-a-go,' rather than 'mur-see-a-la-go,' as 99% of people say.

it was a spanish breed of bulls in XIX century and it's definately mur-see-ala-goh, with an accent stressed on 'goh'

I have to disagree. From what I know about the Italian language it has to be:

"Moor-chié-lágoo"

The accent (´)means you have to open the sound. They're latins. Remember how we pronounce the "e" and the "a". It's an open sound.
