5 | Let's Put the X in Xerxes |
I remember the Cop, the Indian Chief, the Cowboy and the Construction Worker - but I guess the Persian God-King left The Villiage People before "In The Navy" came out.
4 | The Ol' Statue of Liberty Play |

Lamar Latrell of Lambda Lambda Lambda - direct descendant of King Leonidas.
