Ok the song Yankee Doodle was originally sung by the British soldiers to make fun of colonial Americans. A Doodle was based on the German word meaning "simpleton." And the Macoronis were young English men who dressed extravagantly in the fashion of the Italians. Thus the song was saying the colonials were so simple and foolish they thought putting a feather in their hat made them a dandy or a "macaroni."
