Yankee Doodle

Polka · 2/4 · G major

Yankee Doodle is a well-known traditional American tune whose exact origin and composer remain uncertain despite its early association with British troops during the French and Indian War. Although data typically classifies it as a polka in 2/4 meter and G major, it is most widely recognized as a brisk, marching-style song with a cheerful and satirical character. The melody gained enduring historical prominence during the American Revolutionary War when it was adopted by colonial forces as a defiant anthem.
