I grew up singing his songs.

Jerry Ringlien, best known as creator of the “My bologna has a first name” campaign, died of a heart attack Monday in Wilkesboro, N.C. He was 77.

Mr. Ringlien worked at Oscar Mayer for 23 years, rising to VP-marketing. During that time he worked on the “I wish I were an Oscar Mayer wiener” campaign and later revived the popular “wienermobile.”

Oh I wish I were an Oscar Meyer Weiner, that is what I’d truly like to be, because if I were an Oscar Meyer Weiner, everyone would take a bite of me.

No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

Everyone would be in love with me… That is sad! God bless him. 77 is too young to die.

I’ve always felt if I were given the choice between recklessly driving the Batmobile or the Weinermobile, I’d think long and hard and quite possibly choose the latter.
