The child
was filmed fishing on a dock and singing:
: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 every day, :and if you ask my why I'll say, :cause Oscar
Mayer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A.
After the song, he said,
"How's that?"This was
ad-libbed.Lambros said he was becoming
impatient with number of takes, as there was much interference with
lighting, airplanes and ducks, and he started to ask "How's that?"
after each take.The commercial was
originally meant to depict five children singing the
song.It later became famous and ran for
ten years.
Later in life, Lambros opened an exotic pet store in
Woodland Hills, California; and
ran CyberWeb and AnimalWeb, two Internet-based
companies.He appeared onGood Morning Americaon February 3,
2007, to reminisce about his appearance in the commercial.
