Yankee Doodle (July 4th)


The unchallenged anthem of the Revolutionary War, the "Spirit of '76." Various sources attribute the tune to the old nursery rhyme "Lucy Locket." The famous first verse is British derision of the hayseed upstart Yankees, but subsequent verses prove the song was commandeered by those upstarts for the cause of Independence. The state song of Connecticut.
