I wish I were an Oscar Meyer Wiener,
That is what I truly want to be,
For if I were an Oscar Meyer wiener,
Everyone would be in love with me.

The cute story...about how the song came to be.(obit)

A surprised to not find the "Little Neophyte'" original answer From Joe Off circa 1999.

Oh I'm glad I'm not an OMW;
That is what I'd never want to be;
Cause if I were an OMW;
There would soon be nothing left of me.

Thank you Saul,

wish I were an Oscar Meyer Weiner,
That is what I truly want to be,
For if I were an Oscar Meyer wiener,
Everyone would take a bite of me.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle

my guess is...there are at least a half dozen more within the MC world.

FoxNews reports: Man behind the beloved 'Oscar Mayer Wiener Song' dies at 87

There are two Oscar Mayer songs that I know of. The best-known one is the much-parodied "I Wish I Were an Oscar Mayer Weiner" song.

Dani Black says the lyrics to other one are:
    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."
    Oh, I love to eat it every day,
    And if you ask me why I'll say:
    'Cause Oscar Mayer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A.
