Play That One Song is an original by The Residents Tahoe with an origin story as fun as the song itself. You know how every band gets someone yelling play “Free Bird” from the crowd? Well, in South Lake Tahoe, a group of friends had their own version. They’d shout “Play That One Song” at every band they saw. After telling enough talented musicians they ought to write a song by that name and nobody taking the hint, The Resident Ted Kennedy finally said forget it, and wrote it himself. The result is a feel-good anthem that captures exactly what live music
