An Uncle Sam is mentioned as early as 1775, in the original " Yankee Doodle " lyrics of the Revolutionary War.

John became a painter and illustrator ; Richard was an actor in films such as Yankee Doodle Dandy and later an Emmy-nominated television director of such shows as The Beverly Hillbillies.

He is also well known for his song " Yankee Doodle Dixie ", in which he played " Yankee Doodle " and " Dixie " simultaneously, on the same guitar.

Eccentricity, defined as taking characteristics such as dress and appearance to extremes, began to be applied generally to human behavior in the 1770s ; similarly, the word dandy first appears in the late 18th century: In the years immediately preceding the American Revolution, the first verse and chorus of " Yankee Doodle " derided the alleged poverty and rough manners of American-born colonists, suggesting that whereas a fine horse and gold-braided clothing ("

Notable American films from the war years include the anti-Nazi Watch on the Rhine ( 1943 ), scripted by Dashiell Hammett ; Shadow of a Doubt ( 1943 ), Hitchcock's direction of a script by Thornton Wilder ; the George M. Cohan biopic, Yankee Doodle Dandy ( 1942 ), starring James Cagney, and the immensely popular Casablanca, with Humphrey Bogart.

" However, Warners, perhaps searching for another Yankee Doodle Dandy, assigned Cagney a musical for his next picture, 1950's The West Point Story with Doris Day, an actress he admired.

During World War II, to raise money for war bonds, Cagney took part in racing exhibitions at the Roosevelt Raceway and sold seats for the premiere of Yankee Doodle Dandy.

Cagney's Oscar-winning role in Yankee Doodle Dandy ( 1942 ) allowed him to sing and dance, and he considered it to be one of his finest moments.

In 1985, the film Yankee Doodle Dandy became the first black-and-white movie redistributed in color after computer coloring.

After the success of Yankee Doodle Dandy at the box office, Cagney again questioned if the studio would meet his salary demand and again quit to form his own film production and distribution company with his brother Bill.

Among the films the studio made during the war were Casablanca, Now, Voyager, Yankee Doodle Dandy ( all 1942 ), This Is the Army, and Mission to Moscow ( both 1943 ), the latter became controversial a few years afterwards.

At the premieres of Yankee Doodle Dandy ( in Los Angeles, New York, and London ), audiences purchased $ 15. 6 million in war bonds for the governments of England and the United States.

Perhaps the most pervasive influence on the use of the term throughout the years has been the song " Yankee Doodle ", which was popular during the American Revolutionary War ( 1775 – 1783 ) as, following the battles of Lexington and Concord, it was broadly adopted by American rebels.

Today, " Yankee Doodle " is the official " state song " of Connecticut.
