God Bless Ya Mr. Trentlage :)
Great song...childhood memories...I hope this song you wrote brought you much wealth and happiness. Rest in peace.
From a sweeter, gentler time, in which I was privileged to grow-up!
As a kid i remember going to super markets and the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile a specially designed car to look like a wiener would be there replete with a little person dressed in chef outfit as oscar meyer. They woul hand out these little oscar meyer wiener whistles which you got confiscated if you blew it in the school class room. I think the statute of limitations is over on that one...phew!
What a great song
Thank you for the memories!
The winermobile is alive and well. It passes through Albuquerque every few years.

FATE! You cannot make this up.
Fat Momma Cass dies on a turkey sandwich.
Baskin Robbin owner dies of obesity heart disease.
Hot Dog song writer dies of heart disease.
They died doing what they loved.
You just did. We all know she didn't so stop the bs.
My baloney has a first name,
It’s O-S-C-A-R
My baloney has a second name,
it’s M-A-Y-E-R
I eat this sandwich every day
and if you ask me why I’ll say
That Oscar Mayer has a way
with H-G-H and D-N-A.
Beloved by whom? i hate it.
“Beloved by whom? i hate it.”
Still, you will have that jingle stuck in your head for the next week.
Otherwise, try not to hate so much.
It is not stuck in my head. you would be wise not t o give out advice.
My fave-—Jim Fixx-—started the jogging craze-—died jogging.
.
During a trip to Disney World we saw both the Weinermobile and the Hershey Kissmobile. What are the odds of that happening?
If anything, that sounds like a real hate crime! Someone turn this person in.
Her Doctor said she did.
So you are giving out medical advice. The facts were vague, and will always be.
“During a trip to Disney World we saw both the Weinermobile and the Hershey Kissmobile. What are the odds of that happening?”
Good thing they didn’t run into each other. Look at how they got Reese’s Peanut Butter cups:

(And, yes, they would have called them Wiener Kisses).
RIP.
