Oscar-Meyer Weiner..words ?
Sam I Am, In the US
You know the famous American commercials regarding the Oscar-Meyer
Weiners ? (hotdogs). What are the words ? I think they begin with,
"Hello Mother, Hello Father..."
--------
Also, if you can point me to some sites or other sources of information
for lyrics to songs in commercials, I would appreciate it !
Thanks,
Sam

Hello Mudda, was from "Greetings from Camp Granada" or close there to.
Maybe someone else has all the neurons firing today!

Ummmm.
There is a song called "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah" by comedian
Allan Sherman, but as far as I know, it's never been used on any
Oscar Mayer commercials. (Not in my area, anyway. Maybe it was
in some other parts of the counry.)
The only Oscar Mayer song I could think of at first was the one
that starts out "My bologna has a first name ..." but of course
that was their bologna commercial, not the one for hot dogs.
Then I *did* remember their hot dog commercial, which has the
kids singing:
Oh, I wish I was an Oscar Mayer weiner
That is what I truly want to be-ee-ee
'Cause if I was an Oscar Mayer weiner,
Everyone would be in love with me!"
Hmmmm. Doesn't sound a bit like "Camp Granada". But anyway,
if the Allan Sherman lyrics are what you want, here they are:
Hello Muddah, hello Fadduh,
Here I am at Camp Granada.
Camp is very entertaining,
And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining.
I went hiking with Joe Spivey.
He developed poison ivy.
You remember Leonard Skinner.
He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner.
All the counselors hate the waiters,
And the lake has alligators.
And the head coach wants no sissies,
So he reads to us from something called Ulysses.
Now I don't want this should scare ya,
But my bunk mate has malaria.
You remember Jeffrey Hardy.
They're about to organize a searching party.
Take me home, oh Muddah, Fadduh,
Take me home, I hate Granada,
Don't leave me out in the forest, where
I might get eaten by a bear.
Take me home, I promise I will not make noise,
Or mess the house with other boys.
Oh please don't make me stay,
I've been here one ... whole ... day.
Dearest Fadduh, darling Muddah,
How's my precious little Bruddah?
Let me come home if you miss me.
I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kis me.
Wait a minute -- it stopped hailing.
Guys are swimming, guys are sailing.
Playing baseball, gee that's better.
Muddah, Fadduh, kindly disregard this letter!

Oh I wish I were an Oscar Meyer wiener,
That is what I'd truly like to beeeeee
'Cause if I were an Oscar Meyer wiener

The newsgroup alt.tv.commercials will help you learn what song is
used. Then you can go to lyrics sites to get the words.

My bologna has a first name
it's O S C A R
My bologna has a second name

Oh I love to eat it every day
And if you ask me why I'll say
Cause Oscar Meyer has a way
With B O L O G N A
How's that?

According to my sister, who spends *way* too much time watching TVLand
and has memorized all the "retromercials", here's the full version:
Kids:
Oh, I wish I was an Oscar Mayer Weiner
That is what I'd really like to be
'Cause if I was an Oscar Mayer Weiner
Everyone would be in love with me
[FYI, the above part is in a current commercial with a very harried
weinermobile driver]
Contrary kid:
Oh, I'm glad I'm not an Oscar Mayer Weiner
That is what I'd never want to be
Cause if I was an Oscar Mayer Weiner
There would soon be nothing left of me
(Kids glare at contrary kid... apparently afraid of being ostracized, he
joins them, singing:)
Oh, I wish I was an Oscar Mayer Weiner
That is what I'd really like to be
'Cause if I was an Oscar Mayer Weiner
Everyone would be in love with me!
HTH,
