"Deep Fried Food" is a song sung by Scratch from The Ghost and Molly McGee episode, "Festival of Lights". When Libby sets the buffet table with traditional Jewish food fried in oil for the Hannakah party her family is throwing at their bookstore. During the song, Libby tries to teach her ghostly friend what the traditional Hannukah dishes are called, but he deliberately loses track of the specific holiday theme as he announces his love for deep fried food in general, only for the song to end when he burns his tongue on the first bite.

Scratch: I get a whiff
And all at once
I'm yearning
Your oily fragrance puts me in the mood
My heart goes pitter pitter pat
For that vat of liquid fat
Oh, I'm deep in love
With deep fried food
I tremble at the sight
Of jelly donuts
Libby: Sufganiyot.
Scratch: Gesundheit.
Hash browns
Make me come unglued
Libby: Um, these are latkes.
Scratch: Can we fry the empanadas?
Give me egg rolls and frittas
Give me fish and chips
Chicken strips
And whoo!
Hush puppies, too
Libby: Uh, we're kinda losing
the Hanukkah thread here...
Scratch: Throw away the crudités
All I want is you
I don't mind
The greasy stains
When you're gone
I eat those, too
(Eat those, too)
I've never ever known
A love so deep and true
As the love that I feel
For deep fried food...
