Yankee Jon, this is one of your best videos. Rational. Fair. Informative. As a US Southerner, I found it funny that the Confederates appropriated the song for their own cause.
Penny's eyes going down WAS PERFECT! Made it look like she's really contemplating if she's a Yankee Doodle Dandy when she's probably thinking "When's our walk Dad?"
I read somewhere, a long time ago, that Thomas Jefferson served Macaroni and Cheese at a Presidential Dinner - the meal was very posh and new at the time. That was when I learned that "macaroni" meant fancy in that song.
My nana taught me a version that went “ Yankee Doodle went to town, riding over yonder ( pronounced as yunder ) , stuck a bugle in his butt and blew out all the thunder
Mine was "yanke doodle went to town riding on a pony stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni. Yanke doodle keep it up yanke doodle dandy find the music and step and let the girls be handy."
In my head canon, the Revolutionaries stole the song during a battle when they used it to trick the British into thinking they had reinforcements... Because that would have been badass!
@pamelamays4186 Sort of confused about there being any confusion. I was taught that macaroni meant fashionable or overly fancy when I first learned the song in first grade, in 1969
No we lost that conflict, City of London Bank private unconstitutional king of earth calks the price of hold daily . Independent murdered for on K y free in 45. Blue print and memory point way.
I’ve always learned that the word yankee comes from that “all” the Dutch people in that time where named Jan and Kees, (the settlers in New((Amsterdam))York) so they where called Yankees by, I believe the British ….
As opposed to figuratively or metaphorically making us sing it in elementary school? Dude, the word LITERALLY has lost all meaning from being thrown around too much these days and you're not a character from The Loud House.
"Oh, I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy, Yankee doodle do-or-die. A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam, Born on the Fourth of July. I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart. She's the apple of my eye. Yankee Doodle went to town riding on a pony. I am that Yankee Doodle boy."
As someone who grew up in the South, I will attest that, at least in *my* schools they taught us that the American Civil War wasn't about slavery, but that it was about the "haves and have-nots." 🙄 Obviously, that's not the truth. I'm sure that part of it was Southerners resenting Northerners for being more wealthy, but, let's be real: it was about the "right" to own slaves. I hate how throughout school they tried to frame it as that, because, unfortunately, I believed that until I learned differently in college.
How we sang the song when I was a kid: Yankee Doodle came to town, riding on a chicken. Stuck his finger up his butt and called it "Finger Lickin' ". 6:36
Happy Fourth of July Jon solo thank you for all the good years of all the content and videos you made for us on the channels and thank you for the folklore videos❤❤😊
Don't forget Mr. Don Music's version: From memory, it goes like this: Yankee Doodle stayed at home, Cooking for his pony, Put fat spaghetti in a pot, And called it macaroni Yankee Doodle, stir it up, Let it gently simmer, (I don't remember this line) And that's the pony's dinner! One of Sesame Street's best characters.
I’m sad that he missed the opportunity to use a clip from the pageant episode of Always Sunny where they had that kid perform a dance to a weird remix of Yankee Doodle. It was sooo cringey to watch.
Both dandy and macaroni were terms used to describe men who dressed up more so than others or rather more experimental than others. The only reference I can remember is a video by Nicole rudolph on how mens fashion turned boring( though I'm pretty sure baby Cox probably made a video too).
I loved this video so much, I had to share it to Fakebook! I gave my elderly friends a Warning about the sarcasm levels they might expect---but I hope they watch it and laugh as much as I did! lol! JON---WHAT ABOUT JAMES CAGNY singing "Oh, I'm A Yankee Doodle Daaaannnnddeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-----A Yankee Doodle Do or DIE!" in that film about the famous musical dude---whose name I forget right now. I'm more of a Rust Belt kind of Momma, but I IDENTIFY as a Yankee Doodle Dandy.
I've only ever heard the word "fop" used in the Secret of Monkey Island, and up until now, I had no idea what it meant. Also, strictly speaking, Samuel Prescott was the one who did most of the work in warning the town of Concord about the imminent attack, since Paul was captured and wasn't released until the next day. And contrary to popular belief, instead of riding around and shouting that the redcoats were coming, they actually knocked on people's doors and told them directly.
@0:47 Yankee Doodle went to town, Riding on a pony. Stuck a feather in his hat, And called it macaroni. (chorus) Yankee Doodle keep it up. Yankee Doodle dandy. Mind the music and the step, And with the girls be handy! There was General Washington, Upon a stunning Stallion. Giving Orders to his men, there must have been a thousand. -chorus- Yankee Doodle is a toon, It comes in mighty handy. The enemy all run away, At, "Yankee Doodle Dandy" -chorus- [That is the version I learned! 😅]
I knew the part about keeping girls handy (that was the one we sung at my elementary/middle school), but I never questioned it until now. Thanks for that! 😂
The first time I heard the tune was in Roger Ramjet cartoons in 1972 in Venezuela, I loved the melody as you said it was very catchy. I lived in England from 1965 to 1971 and in all those years I never heard Yankee Doodle Dandy there.
I remember a version of the song I sang at my summer camp, it went like “Chester have you heard about Harry, just got back from the army, I hear he knows how to wear a rose, hip hip hooray for the army”
I’m South African, and was taught the same first verse except he went to London not town. The second verse, however, goes “ Yankee Doodle doodle doo, Yankee Doodle dandy, all the lasses are so smart and sweet as sugar candy”. Have a funny idea it was in a nursery rhyme book from my Scottish gran.
You probably won’t consider this but I’d really love if you could dive into the Evillious Chronicles. It’s a GIANT story about the seven sins told through various songs and novels. And the lore and characters are absolutely incredible and certainly have messed up origins of their own that not many people know about. Some of the events and characters are based on real life (Riliane (Pride) is inspired by Marie Antoinette, events of Daughter of Evil (Pride’s song) based on French Revolution, Margarita (Sloth) is inspired by Marie-Madeleine-Marguerite d'Aubray, Wrath Arc inspired by WWII, etc.) I think this would be something very interesting to uncover!
I was in the advanced classes in preschool and elementary school so we actually took folktale and songs like this and learned what they meant😅 in a small town in the middle of nowhere kids were using "macaroni" or "mac-y" for cool...it was weird moving to Austin TX in middle school and people thought I was ridiculous
8:27 In this version, I would have interpreted this to mean that Yankee Doodle named his "Kentish poney" Macaroni. In Japan they use the word "Yankee" to refer to juvenile delinquents for some reason.
Imaging just coming up with a random song while drunk and then becoming the old day version of a meme, to where historian's are convinced it actually meant something beyond people just being drunk.
John, I have to tell you: you really know how to properly conduct research on a subject and is even the reason that I trust you and your analysis'. Stay bless, brother; Happy 4th!! 🎉🎉
How very interesting 🙂 When I was at school it was just one of the songs we had to learn for recorder group 😖 (sounds much nicer played on a fife…) It is a clever insult, if you think about it, but well done to the soldiers for taking it back 🙂 PS: I love your T-shirt, Jon; is that zombie Steamboat Willie?? Awesome 😂😂
Does this count as a Messed Up Nursery Rhyme? I know that the Barney song has the same melody and there was a version of the song written by George M Cohan who was- born on July 3rd 1878.
I would love it if you did some deep dives into mining songs. I'm also wondering if there are any other songs associated with the railroad (old ones). I'm sure 'Ive Been Working On the Railroad' has a pretty jacked up history.
I was right then in my comment last week about the macaroni. The upper class young men going on the Grand Tour of Europe. They brought back macaroni, was an exotic food back then
We also had an obscure version about Bruce Lee! China Dragon went to town, wearing a Kimono, shoved a kick up Toho's asset (minus the et), and cured the bastards Hemeroids! Sometimes we would substitute Hitler for Toho. This didn't last long as Bruce Lee died. Maybe 3 months. Not sure it was even anywhere else. In our local area Martial Arts movies caught fire that summer. My first time seeing Bruce Lee, Angela Mao, Wang Yu etc. So anyway.
I was trying to figure out wtf that tune was making me nostalgic over, I was not a patriotic kid I found it y’all “BARNEY IS A DINOSAUR FROM OUR IMAGINATION…”
Interestingly, when I was a kid I was taught the second verse went: "Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle Dandy! Yankee Doodle keep it up, And keep the women handy!"(or was it, "And make the women handy"? Probably "Keep"...)
I only vaguely knew it had once been an insult but we sing it right alongside our other patriotic songs. What a kickass message to send an opponent by embracing the insult, that's awesome! o7 🇺🇸🎆
Macaroni as a food is misunderstood as well. What we think of as macaroni, today, is specifically _elbow_ macaroni. Macaroni actually refers to any pasta or noodles made from a semolina dough.
Hey, Jon Solo, I really love your videos, and i wanted to ask if you could review the odd sisters if you haven't. They are the reason why they were disney villian are villans. It's just a suggestion. ❤❤
That macaroni fashion sense does sound funny. 🤣 By the way I'm Kenyan and strangely knew this song. I thought it's a nursery rhyme I don't remember how I learnt it.
I couldn't help but think when that song was sung by the British. Not only was it a dis to the colonists but to their own people as well, please tell me I am not the only one lol
Uhmm, I’m not sure what to say.. I grew up a few blocks from Fort Crailo, across the river from Albany, New York.

By 1781, "Yankee Doodle" had turned from being an insult to being a song of national pride.[16][17] According to one account, Shuckburgh wrote the original lyrics after seeing the appearance of Colonial troops under Colonel Thomas Fitch, the son of Connecticut Governor Thomas Fitch.[18] According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, "the current version seems to have been written in 1776 by Edward Bangs, a Harvard sophomore who also was a Minuteman."[15] He wrote a ballad with 15 verses which circulated in Boston and surrounding towns in 1775 or 1776.

This is unrelated, but Alfred from Harley Quinn has an alter ego called The Macaroni and is just as ridiculous as the powdered wig men look

@@DorkyWolf i’m guessing you’re aware of the things on the Harley Quinn show
@@briickhead1886 I am, even though I haven't actually watched the show yet

“ Yankee Doodle went to town, riding over yonder ( pronounced as yunder ) , stuck a bugle in his butt and blew out all the thunder
She's dead funny.
Mine was "yanke doodle went to town riding on a pony stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni. Yanke doodle keep it up yanke doodle dandy find the music and step and let the girls be handy."
I was a musical kid, personally destroying holiday songs, probably too much for the algorithm to handle.
Happy 4th/ The world
In my head canon, the Revolutionaries stole the song during a battle when they used it to trick the British into thinking they had reinforcements... Because that would have been badass!
When I was a kid, I thought Yankee's horse's name was Macaroni.
Same looool
Lol! I did too!
@pamelamays4186
Sort of confused about there being any confusion. I was taught that macaroni meant fashionable or overly fancy when I first learned the song in first grade, in 1969
I came here to say this 😆
It will always be the horse's name to me
Me 2!!!
Happy 4th of July everyone! Honestly, this is the kind of history I actually enjoy watching. XD

This reminded me about how they literally made us sing the song in elementary 😂
Why?
As opposed to figuratively or metaphorically making us sing it in elementary school?
Dude, the word LITERALLY has lost all meaning from being thrown around too much these days and you're not a character from The Loud House.

Riding through town yelling always seemed like an awful idea to me. Like….not everyone would hear, and what if an enemy was in town already?
Fun fact this is not the month where America signed the declaration of independence
But it is when it was adopted.
I always thought he was calling the pony Macaroni
I wondered about that until I learned(many years ago) about the meaning of macaroni as fopish.
I loved this episode, you Yanks have some great history!
Jon, I just want to say I’m so glad you post these as podcasts as well. I absolutely adore it, works perfectly
Happy fourth, Jon
Dandy dog, dandy video, hopefully the only shot I hear today. I call this video macaroni!
@0:47
Yankee Doodle went to town,
Riding on a pony.
Stuck a feather in his hat,
And called it macaroni.
(chorus)
Yankee Doodle keep it up.
Yankee Doodle dandy.
Mind the music and the step,
And with the girls be handy!
There was General Washington,
Upon a stunning Stallion.
Giving Orders to his men,
there must have been a thousand.
-chorus-
Yankee Doodle is a toon,
It comes in mighty handy.
The enemy all run away,
At, "Yankee Doodle Dandy"
-chorus-
[That is the version I learned! 😅]
hey have you ever considered covering the origins davy jones or other sea legends?
I knew the part about keeping girls handy (that was the one we sung at my elementary/middle school), but I never questioned it until now. Thanks for that! 😂
I remember that too, when I was four years old. Now, because of that inappropriate line in the song, I wonder how this song is ever kid appropriate. 🤨
And let us not forget that somewhere in the 80s someone decided to re-utilize the melody for a theme song for a show about a purple dinosaur
The first time I heard the tune was in Roger Ramjet cartoons in 1972 in Venezuela, I loved the melody as you said it was very catchy. I lived in England from 1965 to 1971 and in all those years I never heard Yankee Doodle Dandy there.
The American Eagles were named after that song: Yanks, Doodle, Dan and Dee.
I remember a version of the song I sang at my summer camp, it went like “Chester have you heard about Harry, just got back from the army, I hear he knows how to wear a rose, hip hip hooray for the army”
I’m South African, and was taught the same first verse except he went to London not town. The second verse, however, goes “ Yankee Doodle doodle doo, Yankee Doodle dandy, all the lasses are so smart and sweet as sugar candy”. Have a funny idea it was in a nursery rhyme book from my Scottish gran.
Finish the song John!!! My O.C.D. is Burning!!! With the girls be handy. = Get a wife!
All i can hear is good old barney song🤧
You probably won’t consider this but I’d really love if you could dive into the Evillious Chronicles. It’s a GIANT story about the seven sins told through various songs and novels. And the lore and characters are absolutely incredible and certainly have messed up origins of their own that not many people know about. Some of the events and characters are based on real life (Riliane (Pride) is inspired by Marie Antoinette, events of Daughter of Evil (Pride’s song) based on French Revolution, Margarita (Sloth) is inspired by Marie-Madeleine-Marguerite d'Aubray, Wrath Arc inspired by WWII, etc.) I think this would be something very interesting to uncover!
I was in the advanced classes in preschool and elementary school so we actually took folktale and songs like this and learned what they meant😅 in a small town in the middle of nowhere kids were using "macaroni" or "mac-y" for cool...it was weird moving to Austin TX in middle school and people thought I was ridiculous
8:27 In this version, I would have interpreted this to mean that Yankee Doodle named his "Kentish poney" Macaroni.
In Japan they use the word "Yankee" to refer to juvenile delinquents for some reason.
imagine wendigoon, chubby electron man, and jon having a collab... that would be the day
A pony is a tiny horse so not only was Yankee ham-fistedly imitating a fopish style, he was doing so while riding a comically small horse.
Imaging just coming up with a random song while drunk and then becoming the old day version of a meme, to where historian's are convinced it actually meant something beyond people just being drunk.
John, I have to tell you: you really know how to properly conduct research on a subject and is even the reason that I trust you and your analysis'. Stay bless, brother; Happy 4th!! 🎉🎉
Love the message. Remake an insult as a source of pride and you win.
It’s in the American character to not let anyone mess with us. As a good example look up the Doolittle Raid following Pearl Harbor.
My only takeaway from this is yanky doodle will be in my head for the foreseeable future
Here he did a dance in the middle of France 😂
10/10 would watch again for pupper shot at the end
Forget if you've done it or not, but could you do the origin of the Brothers Grimm tale Bearskin
“Here comes that Yankee Doodle boyyyy”..iykyk😂😂
Different song, but a good one.
Just wanna say that I love light touch of judgement and toxic humor you sprinkle with some of your comments.
My family and friends always sang the "Yanky doodle dandy" version of it.
Maybe it was more popular in my part of Canada
I went 39yrs not knowing this. Then in the last hour randomly watched 2 videos about this. The other video was a sewing video. Crazy coincidence
Most of the states in the U.S. have state song and Connecticut song is Yankee Doodle

I love this video. . . It's getting saved
You should talk about the Yankee doodle boy next it’s like a sequel to this song a little bit
All this time I thought it was just a nursery rhyme that was passed down through the ages
That macaroni fashion sense does sound funny. 🤣
By the way I'm Kenyan and strangely knew this song. I thought it's a nursery rhyme I don't remember how I learnt it.
Penny is cute and has grown so much from when I had seen her last (when you first got her). Very informative as always!
When you make an insult only for the person you are trying to insult to throw it back.
I couldn't help but think when that song was sung by the British. Not only was it a dis to the colonists but to their own people as well, please tell me I am not the only one lol
As someone from NC, I was taught anyone from above the Mason-Dixon was a Yankee. My husband from MA says Yankees are from NY.
i love that you used an its always sunny clip xD
Uhmm, I’m not sure what to say.. I grew up a few blocks from Fort Crailo, across the river from Albany, New York. We’ve always been told that the world famous Yankee Doodle song was written here. see excerpt below:
Fort Crailo is reportedly the place where, in 1755, British Army surgeon Richard Shuckburgh, quartered in the home, wrote the ditty "Yankee Doodle" to mock the New England colonial troops who fought with the British in the French and Indian Wars.
More: The song was a pre-Revolutionary War song originally sung by British military officers to mock the disheveled, disorganized colonial "Yankees" with whom they served in the French and Indian War. It was written at Fort Crailo around 1755 by British Army surgeon Richard Shuckburgh while campaigning in Rensselaer, New York.[15] The British troops sang it to make fun of their stereotype of the American soldier as a Yankee simpleton who thought that he was stylish if he simply stuck a feather in his cap.[1] It was also popular among the Americans as a song of defiance,[1] and they added verses to it that mocked the British and hailed George Washington as the Commander of the Continental army. By 1781, "Yankee Doodle" had turned from being an insult to being a song of national pride.[16][17]
According to one account, Shuckburgh wrote the original lyrics after seeing the appearance of Colonial troops under Colonel Thomas Fitch, the son of Connecticut Governor Thomas Fitch.[18] According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, "the current version seems to have been written in 1776 by Edward Bangs, a Harvard sophomore who also was a Minuteman."[15] He wrote a ballad with 15 verses which circulated in Boston and surrounding towns in 1775 or 1776.
