There are 4 WeinerMobiles in the country. Each driver can drive for 12 mos. They receive thousands of applicants each year. One of the important qualifications is the ability to sing the Bologna Song and "I Wish I Was an Oscar Meyer Wiener."
Advertising slogans are present throughout the everyday life of people all over the world, and some are good enough to stick in people's memory for years. Examples of some that are memorable include Nike's 'Just do it' slogan, McDonald's 'I'm Lovin' It,' and Chevy's 'Like A Rock,' just to name a few.
The Oscar Meyer's Weiners song is a classic example .
He did win an Oscar for the lyrics of "Jai Ho" that won Best Original Song. I guess he just wasn't present to collect it himself.
Music composed by Jerome Kern, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein.
