French Fries (Ray Campi) You Can Almost Taste the Grease

Ray Campi’s “French Fries” is a playful 1960 rockabilly B-side that captures the teenage food craze of the era, pairing greasy spoon culture with a catchy beat and youthful charm.

The song “French Fries” was released in 1960 as the B-side to “Hear What I Wanna Hear” on Colpix Records (CP 166). Written by a songwriter credited as Ellis and arranged by Bunny Botkin, “French Fries” is a lighthearted, novelty-style tune that reflects the post-war American obsession with fast food, diners, and teen culture. While it didn’t chart nationally, it became a cult favorite among rockabilly collectors and fans of early teen rock.

Ray Campi, known as “The Rockabilly Rebel,” was a schoolteacher by day and a rockabilly revivalist by night. Though he began recording in the 1950s, his career saw a resurgence in the 1970s when he was rediscovered by Ronnie Weiser of Rollin’ Rock Records. “French Fries” stands out as one of his early recordings that showcased his knack for blending humor, Americana, and infectious rhythm.

The song’s lyrics playfully celebrate the simple joy of eating French fries, a staple of 1950s diner culture. It’s emblematic of the era’s fascination with youth rebellion, drive-in hangouts, and greasy indulgence—making it a charming time capsule of mid-century American pop culture.
