there is a reason why america is called the United States of America, together, the north and south, whites and blacks, all races, every state, joined together to make this a great nation, during the revolution, there was the north and south together, in the civil war, there were blacks and whites fighting the south, then throughout, they all fought their way for peace, and liberty,thats america.
God Bless the courage of the Continental Army and New Jersey Militia at Trenton and Princeton for defeating the dastardly British and turning the tide! And long live the New Jersey regiments that helped destroy the evil Southern Slave-Power Confederacy!
@arsenaljsutliffuk Yes, it is a British tune, although modern lyrics were written by Americans. The British used to play this song whenever marching to a battle. It used to annoy the colonists. Over time the Americans started to enjoy the tune and we've loved it ever since! From what i know, Americans played Yankee Doodle after Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, while British and Hessian troops marched out the Americans played it.
The British used to play this during the war of independence.Some how it really annoyed all the Americans civilian and soldiers.It quickly became a favourite with the Brits who used it whenever they were on the march, quickly warning everyone that the British were coming!! : )
@Thekeir100 Haha yeah the colonists hated the song, I don't consider them Americans as they were still at war and didn't have independence. I know I am so anal about stuff like that lol. The song actually is a mockery of the Americans, Yankee = American and Doodle = Fool. But lets remember the Americans took kindly to the song and sort of reverse - trolled, if you will, and now it's become synonomous with the war and of America itself haha.
@Natepianogod But even after the war of independence it still annoyed the ,by then,the Americans.Finally I have met some one on you tube who is not a arse and who would not reply to me like this:shut up you know nothing!
@Thekeir100 I love my English brothers, as I am assuming you are? I still have family in Ireland and have a big ancestry background in Europe. So I have a place inside my heart for the people and countries of Europe.. in general! So I'm not like those idiots who comment back with an insult. Their just jealous haters! And yes the, by then, Americans still hated it but I meant over time it sunk into Americans heart and they started to enjoy it.
@Natepianogod You sir are epic! lol and after all it is just music,even if it says American fool.I am sending you a friend request because sir,you are epic!
@Thekeir100 I can't say I could hold a title of being "epic" .. I'm just a guy who has admiration for other countries. But I am honoured that someone has actually called me epic lol. The friend request was greatly accepted :)
@Natepianogod No,you are not just a guy who just happens to have admiration for other countries.You are EPIC!Yeah America and Britain should get along and join in the tradition of hating the French,lol
@Thekeir100 the netherlands (holland) wants to join to hate the french we fought them 2. thats the reason why the half of belgium speaks french and the other part is dutch XD not bad for such a small country is it.
Funny how the tune was originally thought up by the Brits at around 1755 during the French & Indian War, making fun of the Colonists for being unorganized, being cowards, etc. and How it was turned around to suite the American point of view (Despite the fact Doodle derives from the German word Dodel which means fool... American Fool)
we walk into England claiming their land in the name of the President playing this song and then some guy starts talking and says Surrender in the name of President or be destroyed british scum its pay back MotherFoe
A lot can happen in three hundred years. Remember we are now friends with Germany after only sixty five. And while the rest of Europe would be speaking German, by the time America entered the war the UK was up to full strength once more. It was nearly two years since defeat in France and one year since the Battle of Britain.
yankee doodle went to town riding on a pony, stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni, father and i went down to camp along with captain gooding and there we saw the men and boys as thick as hasting pudding, yankee doodle keep it up yankee doodle dandy mind the music and the step and with the girls be handy, and there was general washington upon a strapping stallion shouting orders to his men i guess there were a million, repeat chorus
i stand a little bit taller every time i here this song, im proud to be from Pennsylvania and im proud to be an american, i will never forget what the yanks did in the rev. war and the civil war see ya in hell johnny reb ... billy yank
damn you yanks and your independance! lol just kidding, good on ya from an admiring brit :) can't help feeling it was this that started the end of the empire though :P

SMOKIN. Towpath is my favorite Fife and Drums. From an old guy who as a kid watched my grandfather play Bass drum in a Fife and Drums from Watertown, Ct. SMOKIN.
this is for any one who lives in manitowoc wisconsin i am looking for some people who can play when jonny comes marching home on the drumes and other things and any one with any kind of airsoft gun or guns i would like to have a airsoft army of at least 200-300 people I WILL PAY MONEY
From looking at the comments all i can say is... this ain't about communists, socialists or any other wars. This is about the perspective of freedom and equality, the very ideals that formed this nation under fire and inspiration such as this music. It's a pity that it's not the same, but it's still the same land so fuck yea and bless those who still believe in the old America.
Yeah, the civil war wasn't about slavery, it was about the right of the southern states to own slaves. Lol. You guys can't change history. It was about slavery, period.
@igurube No doubt a considerable portion of the war was about the despicable practice slavery, but i think the main reason that the war started was because of Washington's (ie the north) was putting taxes on cotton and other cash crops. Their justification was that the slaves were the ones doing the work, so the owners should be taxed more for the crops. Almost every major war has been fought over money. its the way history works.
One of the comments is "good old america" and since I'm just about the biggest Revolutionary War nerd out there I just wanted to point this out. Yankee Doodle was a song that was meant to offend the colonist. "Yankee" is an rude way of calling some one a colonist and "doodle" means that someone is an uneducated stupid farmer. Love the video! I flipped out when I saw it!
@Quatro7777 - "stuck a feather in his hat & called it macaroni" is also a bust as macaroni was slang for fashionable fellow in britain, so it was making fun of the early stages of a new fashion over here, it all stems from lucy locket which has the same exact tone and was an old n. rhyme in britain, ive heard yankee was first used in the french&indian war when colonial malicias fought along side british regulars which called them yanks as they were disorganized
It's funny how everyone celebrates the colonies secession from the british empire, when the colonies had slaves under the cry of "liberty". Yet, when the southern states tried to secede from the U.S...they are some how traitors and slave drivers.
@IslandersMets10 Some people tried to get rid of slavery, but were afraid the south wouldn't join in the fight so they did nothing to solve the issue. If we had taken care of it then we wouldn't of fought the civil war.
@newsflash90 Slavery was driven out of northern ports. The New York city and boston ports. Check your facts. The north had just as much to do with slavery then the south, if not more.
@IslandersMets10 You're right, there was still slavery but the south had more. I'm just saying if we fixed the problem then, there wouldn't have been a civil war.
@newsflash90 Slavery wasn't the "problem" that was "fixed" durrig the war between the states. The right of a state to secede was haulted by force and a powerful federal empire was forced down the throat of every american.
@IslandersMets10 Are you saying there was still slavery after the Civil War? I agree that in the beginning it was more about seceding but turned into a war about slavery. I think there was better ways of handling it then going to war.
@newsflash90 I''m saying rights were lost durring the war between the states, not gained. We lost the right to secede and choose to opt out of a political union of one state desired. You can't have a union by force. So therefor we live under and empire
@IslandersMets10 I agree. There were other ways of handling the situation. I don't think any state would have entered the union if they didn't think they could get out of it.
One of the best tunes I can think of, the original first verse of this tune was sung by British officers to mock the farmer-esque and unprofessional American soldiers. I like how they included the verse into this song, as if a proverbial middle finger was stuck up to the "British elite" for making fun of American heritage.
@MrNightlyProductions I've always felt this fact was underplayed in America. It has all sorts of positive implications on what to do when someone calls you a name you don't like
This song was originally written just to piss off the British, but, as Americans do, we turned it to a rally cry against the aristocrats. Can you not feel the resolve for your freedom rise in your throat when you hear this music? This is our land, and I dare an invader to JUST TRY TO TAKE IT!
This nation of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from this Earth!
And I lay my life and my faith with my fellow Americans that we shall not allow our nation to fall.
And to that I pledge my allegience to the flag and the nation it represents.....now and forever I am a fighting man of the United States of America..Let freedom ring...
@antred11 Well firstly, I don't know what that has to do with anything. Secondly, there are millions of Americans that don't have British roots and even those who are of British descent can hardly be called "British" any more, so the statement "Americans are British" really doesn't make much sense.
@antred11 There are 36,564,465 british people living in USA alone.British people with real british roots.Well thats what wiki says but you get the picture.
Most of majority in USA today is mostly german and Spanish.And a bit of french.
The term American comes from Native American.So Americans don't really have a country.They are living in a stolen land and above that in a nice corporation :)
@NuclearHoaxFuel Im an American living on American land. I consider being called British an insult . I am Half Native American and Half Mexican just thought youd like to know pal :)
How bout this for a comment: You see any guns on them? Why the fuck should anyone respect them? I'm a Tea Party Patriot, myself, but, seriously, in the spirit of the Revolution, fuck them! Who couldn't roll over these clowns with a couple cavalrymen?
Get some guns, wear them responsibly, and stand for you nation in full force.
For the uniformed the band marches in front of armed troops..and still does.This is not to threaten anyone but is a reenactment of what it was..relax...imagine General Washington on the lead horseback....This would make anyone brealout with chills..
@raginroadrunner Another helpful fact is that Gen Washington LEAD his troops into battle, which is one of the reasons one of his cloaks was shot through with 6 bullets, and he was never shot in battle. This is why an Iriquis Chief said he would lead a great nation. This is not a simple song of revolution, but a declaration of freedom by a free people who put their faith in God.
Faith, Hope, Charity, Courage; works every time it's HONESTLY tried. And we need HONESTY. The truth shall set us free.
@luckyday465768 You're right. We fought for four years by ourselves and perservered under tough circumstances but we still needed their help in the end.
This is the way I enjoy hearing Yankee Doodle Dandy...fifes and drums and a good cadence, not like the stuff modern bands now play with very tight kevlar heads, very tight snares or no snares at all. Bravo.
@PvtGaryRoach Go ahead. You bought the flag, so you would be burning YOUR flag not mine. Un-like America the rest of the world can invest their culture and heritage in to more than a bit of cloth. A flag is meant to define your country, not to be its heart and soul, that's just silly.
@PvtGaryRoach Haha and you are a private? What fools do they let in the USMC? Do you not realise that the British are dying in Afghanistan more than any other nation other than your own?
A lot of people outside of the US and UK don't realize that we're like brothers, we fight and bicker amongst each other but would kill for the other if anyone ELSE tried to!
@Myles0Harcourt Make no mistake, we love our British brothers! We've shared more bloody trenches than we've opposed each other. God bless the U.S.A. and our big brother, Great Britain!
Thanks to the Yankees, the world is a much better place now ........ THANK YOU!!!

@IslandersMets10 I agree. There were other ways of handling the situation. I don't think any state would have entered the union if they didn't think they could get out of it.

One of the best tunes I can think of, the original first verse of this tune was sung by British officers to mock the farmer-esque and unprofessional American soldiers. I like how they included the verse into this song, as if a proverbial middle finger was stuck up to the "British elite" for making fun of American heritage.

@MrNightlyProductions I've always felt this fact was underplayed in America. It has all sorts of positive implications on what to do when someone calls you a name you don't like

This song was originally written just to piss off the British, but, as Americans do, we turned it to a rally cry against the aristocrats. Can you not feel the resolve for your freedom rise in your throat when you hear this music? This is our land, and I dare an invader to JUST TRY TO TAKE IT!
This nation of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from this Earth!
And I lay my life and my faith with my fellow Americans that we shall not allow our nation to fall.

@antred11 Americans are british ....whats so confusing here?
NuclearHoaxFuel 1 year ago
@antred11 Well firstly, I don't know what that has to do with anything. Secondly, there are millions of Americans that don't have British roots and even those who are of British descent can hardly be called "British" any more, so the statement "Americans are British" really doesn't make much sense.
antred11 1 year ago
@antred11 There are 36,564,465 british people living in USA alone.British people with real british roots.Well thats what wiki says but you get the picture.
Most of majority in USA today is mostly german and Spanish.And a bit of french.
The term American comes from Native American.So Americans don't really have a country.They are living in a stolen land and above that in a nice corporation :)
And they are legends in their own minds.
Again learn your history.

Get some guns, wear them responsibly, and stand for you nation in full force.

For the uniformed the band marches in front of armed troops..and still does.This is not to threaten anyone but is a reenactment of what it was..relax...imagine General Washington on the lead horseback....This would make anyone brealout with chills..
raginroadrunner 1 year ago
@raginroadrunner Another helpful fact is that Gen Washington LEAD his troops into battle, which is one of the reasons one of his cloaks was shot through with 6 bullets, and he was never shot in battle. This is why an Iriquis Chief said he would lead a great nation. This is not a simple song of revolution, but a declaration of freedom by a free people who put their faith in God.
Faith, Hope, Charity, Courage; works every time it's HONESTLY tried. And we need HONESTY. The truth shall set us free.

@PvtGaryRoach Go ahead. You bought the flag, so you would be burning YOUR flag not mine. Un-like America the rest of the world can invest their culture and heritage in to more than a bit of cloth. A flag is meant to define your country, not to be its heart and soul, that's just silly.
