Convert audio to come out of only right speaker?

I play Xbox on an old TV that only has a right speaker. I can play music fine except for some songs that have half the sound coming from one speaker and the other half from the other. Is there a way I can convert some of my songs so that the same sound comes from both speakers so it will work on my TV?

It's not whether it can be done, it's who can do it in the fewest steps.
We may find that it's easier in Audacity 1.3. We'll see.
I need to leave the house for a while [mid-afternoon, Pacific]. Let's see if somebody beats me.

OK, so it's all about me.
You'll be in Audacity 1.3. I don't think half of these tools are available in Audacity 1.2. You can install both versions as long as you only use one at a time.
Open your song.
Track > Stereo Track to Mono (If your system will play a mono track, then we're done. Export and play. If not...)
Edit > Select > All > Copy
Track > Add New
Second Track > Home > Paste
* Upper Track > Left
* Lower Track > Right
* Upper Track > Make stereo Track
File > Export ...
* These are track tools on the left of the timeline.

Thank you. All I had to do was to the stereo to mono.
