Yankee Doodle Dandy
Colonial American tune
Yankee Doodle Dandy is a patriotic expression for an American, drawn from the Revolutionary War song "Yankee Doodle." The phrase suggests cheerful, unapologetic Americanness: He's a real Yankee Doodle Dandy.
The 1942 James Cagney film of that title reinforced its association with flag-waving national pride.
