Macaroni which meant something different in those days.
Yankee doodle put a feather in his hat and called it macaroni Yankee doodle put a "feather in his hat and called it macaroni"!
Yankee Doodle put a feather in his hat and called it macaroni because macaroni was an Italian style of dress that the British were copying. So Yankee Doodle also copied the macaroni style and stuck a feather in his hat.
The song says cap.
Yankee Doodle went to town, riding on a pony, stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni

Yankee Doodle rode to town on a pony. The song describes his journey and his attempts to make the pony look more impressive by adding a feather to its hat. This catchy tune became popular during the American Revolution and is often associated with patriotism.
Well, darling, you're a bit off the mark there. The actual lyrics to "Yankee Doodle" go like this: "Yankee Doodle went to town, riding on a pony, stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni." So, no heaters involved, just some good old-fashioned pony riding and questionable hat fashion choices.
it was the british actually mocking the patriots with a song because it you listen to the lyrics it quotes: "Macaroni" (Something Fancy) the patriots later used this in battle during the Rev. War (:

So the song actually goes "foolish Yankees went to town riding on a pony stuck a feather in his hat and called it stylish.
