"Short, Short Stories and Oscar Mayer!"
Wishful Thinking
Bob had all he wanted. And he still had one wish left.
"I can't decide. Can I use it later?" he asked.
"You da boss. I'm just the genie."
"Cool."
As he walked down the streets, he searched for a tune to express his joyous feelings.
"...Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener - "
- Joshua Hanes
An Oscar Mayer campaign introduced on radio in 1963 and later on a 1965 animated cartoon contained the lyrics:
Oh, I love to be an Oscar Mayer wiener
That is what I'd Truly like to be
'Cause if I were an Oscar Mayer wiener
Ev'ryone would be in love with me!
In 1968 the Vienna Symphony Orchestra performed the tune in a
commercial that ended with a little boy clapping at the orchestra's
performance and then taking a bite out of a wiener. An announcer closed
by saying "The Oscar Mayer wiener—a classic."
