At Yorktown, when the British marched out to surrender, they marched with their heads turned toward the French troops. They were trying to pretend the Americans did not exist.The Marquis de Lafayette, the commander of the Light Infantry brigade, was outraged. He ordered his band to play Yankee Doodle. With a blast of drums and a swirl of fifes, the musicians hurled themselves into their favorite song. Every British head was jerked around, and they stared into the faces of their former subjects. SPIRIT OF 1775, FOUR MORE YEARS!🇺🇸✌️💯
Yankee doodle came to town For to buy firelook We will ter and feather him And so will John hancock He proved an arrest coward He wouldn't fight the British there He fear being devoured Then old Georgie grew so bold He said there's no men greater But he will sing a mournful tune When he's hanged as a traitor
Back then musician's would wear the opposite of their country's uniforms so that the enemy would t shoot them, so the American musicians would wear red uniforms with blue high lights because the regular uniform was blue with red high lights. People back then set up many rules to fight a battle like, you shouldn't shoot commissioned officers, medics, and musicians
I had some PG Tips Tea in my cupboard, now it's in a harbor
Lol

Amazing
Yankee doodle came to town
For to buy firelook
We will ter and feather him
And so will John hancock
He proved an arrest coward
He wouldn't fight the British there
He fear being devoured
Then old Georgie grew so bold
He said there's no men greater
But he will sing a mournful tune
When he's hanged as a traitor
Complete bull
