on Wikipedia, the citation for Will Forte only listening to Emerson Lake and Powell’s “Touch and Go” for a year is a CBB episode!

He recounted listening to only one song in his office at SNL for an entire year because he wanted to challenge himself.[46]

"We had this sketch 'Time Traveling Scott Joplin' that I liked, with Maya [Rudolph] playing time traveling Scott Joplin. That was because our office was next to Jeff Richmond, Tina’s husband who did the music. He would have to wait around all night because people would come to him and get him to help them write songs. He was just in his office and he had a keyboard. He was playing ragtime nonstop right next to us. We were supposed to write this sketch that Slovin had pitched, a tennis idea that Lorne liked, and then we realized it was actually a terrible idea. So we had to write something about tennis. That assignment plus Jeff Richmond playing ragtime nonstop for hours turned into that sketch."
