Yankees were what Southerners refered to Northerners
The song Yankee doodle is all about how Britain was making fun of the Yankees because they were never popular or cool. the word Doodle actually means foolish. The word macaroni means stylish. So the song actually goes "foolish Yankees went to town riding on a pony stuck a feather in his hat and called it stylish.
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.
Let us remember the original lyrics to the song: Yankee doodle went to town Riding on a pony Stuck a feather in his cap And called it maccaroni. So, what is the significance of the pony? None, really; it was just a convenient word to rhyme with maccaroni. At the time those lyrics were composed, it was perfectly normal for people to ride ponies.
There is no hyphen, and the full phrase is "Yankee Doodle Dandy" (the patriotic song).
