Oh it's a sad sad day in the Blink household

[BernardandMissBianca]

My kids, My television addicted, vintage cartoon loving kidlets do not know the Oscar Mayer Bologna song!!!

What is wrong with them?!?!??!

This is worse then them not knowing what a typewriter was.

I need an intervention. And a time machine.

 

[lovingthemouse]

Now kids, get right up close to this screen!!!

Oh i'd love to be an Oscar Meyer weiner
that is what i'd truly like to beeeeeeee
cause if i were an Oscar Meyer weiner
everyone would be in love with me


Can you imagine kids today not knowing these famous words?????

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

the one we were singing was

My bologna has a first name
It's O-s-c-a-r
My bologna has a second name
It's M-a-y-e-r
Oh, I love to eat it everyday
and if you ask me why I'll just saaaaaaay
Cuz Oscar Mayer has a way with B-o-l-o-g-n-a

DS10 had no idea how to spell bologna. LOL I'm like what?!?!? So I started to sing the song and they thought I was crazy!

 

[lovingthemouse]

Mixed my meats up Bamb!! The one you sang - remember the little curly headed girl who sang it? Or how about the adorable little brown haired boy? Good memories

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

brown haired boy, fishing.

Your kids need to come back for a visit!!!

My kids can sing that song, and they are known to recite all kinds of commericals!!!
Especially DS14!! He can remember ones that DH and I forget!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

I think there needs to be a vintage commercial night on TV.

The didn't even know the Big Mac song!!!

Oh and I was still looking for that cowboy thing and DD picks up a slim line phone and she said I'm playing on that big cell phone! LOL

We need to petition for vintage commercials. My favorite was the snowman riding on the electric shaver!

That is too funny. One of my friends was just posting yesterday that her kids did know that song. It's amazing how we forget some things but I remember ever last word (& letter) of that song from 1973. ;-)

Too funny. My girls sorta know it. We got a visit from the Weiner-Mobile awhile back.

But as a shameful confession that is the only way I can spell Bologna.

 

[JJ&JHsmom]

Okay I thought I was the only one who walked around singing jingles from old commercials!!! Last week it was the Oreo song, then I craved Oreos!!! DS thinks I have totally lost my mind! Thank you ladies for reassuring me that I am not ready for the nut house quite yet!

Uhhhhh...... you aren't the only one.
That's how the whole conversation started, DS10 was like they spelled bologna wrong. And I'm like what!?!? I think he was thinking phonically "baloney".

Hey I resemble that remark!!! Granted I could never get my hair as big as some but I still used my fair share of Aqua Net!

 

[MazdaUK]

There's loads of commercials on youtube - I was showing DS(11) the Birds eye beefburgers and finger of fudge ones and he thought they were hilarious.

I never could get my hair really big either, too fine!
Megan remembers the wiener song, but not the bologna song ...so sad

That is surprising...the shutter shades, lace bottom tights, bright colors and lace skirts are making a big comback around here.

Lord help us all if 80s hair comes back! I used the Coruso Molecular Hair Care System. I hot rolled my hair every morning. It took me an hour...just on my hair! it was about an hour and 45 minute process to get ready every morning!

Aaaahhhh, what we did to be beautiful. I was queen of the hair-bears (big hair) and I have the senior picture to prove it. My uncle actually gave me and my sister a case of aquanet one year for Christmas. He said the hair care bills in our house must have been killing my father.

 

[mommy2mrb]

I had a "poodle perm" for my senior picture yes I know it was easy to do though
megan just shakes her head at my "style" or as she says "lack of"!!!
