The Third Reich 'n Roll is the second studio album by the American art rock group the Residents, released on Ralph Records in 1976.

They initially wanted their friend Snakefinger to play guitar on the album but as he was in England at the time, the group instead searched for a local guitarist, and eventually Gary Phillips of Earth Quake was suggested to them.

The Residents would later record a cover of another Rolling Stones song, "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", and release it as a single to promote the album.

These came with a hand-pressed red-marbled vinyl edition of the record with silk-screened sleeve and labels, in a velvet-lined black wooden box with a sliding panel featuring hand-screened version of the cover art.

The album was reissued in 2018 as part of the Residents' "pREServed" remaster campaign, featuring contemporary singles, live performances, and a number of previously unheard outtakes.

Later notable cover projects include the 1977 single The Beatles play the Residents and the Residents play the Beatles, the 1980s American Composers series (spawning two albums: George & James and Stars & Hank Forever) and The King & Eye, a 1989 album of Elvis Presley covers.

The Residents would perform the Swingin' Medallions' "Double Shot" in its entirety in 1988 for a single to promote their album God in Three Persons, in which the song's main riff is a recurring motif.

It is a radio ad for the Rather Ripped Records fifth birthday party on June 7, 1976, at which the Residents performed; their entire set from that event is presented on disc 2 as track 1.
