"Yankee Doodle" is a well-known Anglo-American song, the origin of which dates back to the Seven Years' War. It is often sung patriotically in the United States today and is the state anthem of Connecticut.〔(STATE OF CONNECTICUT, Sites º Seals º Symbols ); ''Connecticut State Register & Manual''; retrieved on May 23, 2008〕 Its Roud Folk Song Index number is 4501. ==History and lyrics== : Yankee Doodle went to town : Riding on a pony; : He stuck a feather in his hat, : And called it macaroni.〔 Traditions place its origin in a pre-Revolutionary War song originally sung by British military officers to mock the disheveled, disorganized colonial "Yankees" with whom they served in the French and Indian War. It is believed that the tune comes from the nursery rhyme ''Lucy Locket''. One version of the Yankee Doodle lyrics is "generally attributed" to Dr. Richard Shuckburgh, a British Army surgeon. According to one story, Dr. Shuckburgh wrote the song after seeing the appearance of Colonial troops under Colonel Thomas Fitch, V, the son of Connecticut Governor Thomas Fitch. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yankee Doodle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
