Yankee Doodle a song composed in the 1750s during the
French and Indian War (1754–63), and one of the most popular during the
Revolutionary War. The lyrics are of British origin and were written to ridicule American colonists and the attire of American soldiers. The Americans adopted the song as one of their own, which led to the development of many different versions and parodies, both British and American. It is believed the Americans played it when the British surrendered at
Yorktown (1781). The tune is believed to be of American origin.
