TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Kelsey Griswold is relishing the success of her winning Oscar Mayer jingle.

The 8-year-old Oklahoma girl's version of the new wiener ditty was chosen Tuesday among thousands of entries nationwide in the hot dog maker's contest.

A chili dog fan, Kelsey used her favorite wiener toppings to come up with her lyrics: ``Oh I wish I were an Oscar Mayer wiener, then the buns would really relish me. I would make the mustard glad, and the other wieners sad, and Oscar Mayer would stand up and shout with glee.''

She performed the new jingle with music star Monica at Universal Studios in Hollywood after she was announced the winner.

She is expected to be on the Rosie O'Donnell show Thursday in New York. Besides her time in the spotlight, Kelsey gets a $20,000 college scholarship.

``When I get back to third grade no one will believe this,'' she said.
