In fact, I bet it was Irish soldiers in Gen. George's Continental Army who took the Brit insult, put music to the words, and sang with all their might:

Yankee Doodle went to town
Riding on a pony
He stuck a feather in his hat
And called it macaroni.

Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy.

During the Revolutionary War, the Americans appropriated the tune and embraced it, making it their own, turning the (gay) insult into a celebration of their defiance. A newpaper account about a month after the fighting at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, reported that “Yankee Doodle” was played by the fife and drums; and added with glee, “Upon their return to Boston [pursued by the Minutemen], one [Briton] asked his brother officer how he liked the tune now, — ‘D–n them,’ returned he, ‘they made us dance it till we were tired.’ — Since which Yankee Doodle sounds less sweet to their ears.”
