  Yankee Doodle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Yankee Doodle" is a well-known American song, often sung patriotically today (although originally satirical).
One version of the Yankee Doodle lyrics is attributed to Doctor Richard Shuckburgh, a British Army surgeon.
The joke being that the Yankees are stupid enough to believe that a feather in the hat is sufficiently spiffy to gain entry to Macaroni.

 Today in History: April 19
By the end of the day, the colonists were singing "Yankee Doodle" and the American Revolution had begun.
Yankee Doodle is now their paean, a favorite of favorites, played in their army, esteemed as warlike as the Genadier's March — it is the lover's spell, the nurse's lullaby…it was not a little mortifying to hear them play this tune, when their army marched down to our surrender.
Fittingly, "Yankee Doodle" is also said to have been played at Yorktown, along with "The World Turned Upside Down," when Lord Cornwallis surrendered to George Washington at the end of the war.

 Yankee Doodle Dandy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yankee Doodle Dandy is a 1942 biographical film about George M. Cohan, starring James Cagney, Joan Leslie, Walter Huston, Richard Whorf, Irene Manning, George Tobias, Rosemary DeCamp and Jeanne Cagney.
The title song (properly titled "The Yankee Doodle Boy") was Cohan's trademark piece, a patriotic pastiche drawing from the lyrics and melody of the old Revolutionary War number, Yankee Doodle.
A popular myth about this movie, or at least a stretching of the truth, was that it was written in response to accusations that James Cagney was a communist.

 Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942)
The insolent boy is long overdue for corporal punishment, yet he mustn't be rapped on the hand ("he has to play the violin") or slapped across the mouth ("he has to sing"), according to Nellie.
George, as horse jockey Johnny Jones - the Yankee Doodle Boy himself, stands on a pedestal next to a race horse, and is soon surrounded by the long-gowned, glittering dancers/singers.
As the rousing chorus is sung, the limber song and dance man George struts across the stage with a stiff-legged gait, bent forward with a straight upper torso.
