Five Americans was a 1960s American band, most famous for the song "Western Union", which reached No. 5 in the U.S. Billboard chart and was their only single to chart in the Top 20. In Casey Kasem's "Book of Records" category of most repetitive word or phrase in a Hot 100 top 10 hit, "Western Union" holds the record (in this case, the two 40-fold and one 50-plus-fold repetition of the imitative word "dit").

Famous quotes containing the word americans:
“We Americans have the chance to become someday a nation in which all radical stocks and classes can exist in their own selfhoods, but meet on a basis of respect and equality and live together, socially, economically, and politically. We can become a dynamic equilibrium, a harmony of many different elements, in which the whole will be greater than all its parts and greater than any society the world has seen before. It can still happen.”
—Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)
