My in laws gifted my kid this pretty cool RC car but it makes this awful music that’s REALLY loud. Can I wire a resistor in series on one of the speaker legs to turn the volume down, say 50%?

Yep, would work exact like you imagine it would. The other commenter saying potentiometer is right. You don't know what resistance will give you the volume you want, so save the time of doing it two or three times and just get the potentiometer front the start.
