Here ya go:
1. shareef

After the Ayatollah Khomeini started ruling Iran, one of the first things he did was to ban rock 'n' roll since he considered it a bad and corruptive influence.

The Clash wrote "Rock The Casbah" in response. So "Shareef" was the Ayatollah, even though that wasn't his real first name.
