In British conversation, the term "Yankee doodle dandy" implied unsophisticated misappropriation of high-class fashion,

as though simply sticking a feather in one's cap would make one to be noble

The British troops sang it to make fun of their stereotype of the American soldier

as a Yankee simpleton who thought that he was stylish if he simply stuck a feather in his cap.

 

But, It was also popular among the Americans as a song of defiance.

As per the American Library of Congress, the Americans added additional verses to the song,

mocking the British troops and hailing the Commander of the Continental army George Washington.

By 1781, Yankee Doodle had turned from being an insult to being a song of national pride.
