He may have been in a drug induced stupor.
You saw nothing.
Just drop it.
He ingested an illegal substance, and as a consequence of his hallucination, actually thought he was putting macani on his hat...
"Yankee Doodle" was a derisive nsmr British solders had for American Colonists before the time of the American Revolution. "Yankee" comes from an Indian word for the white settlers. A "Yankee Doodle," a typical American, was considered a rustic, a hick, a yokel, a buffoonish farmer.
A "macaroni" was English street slang for a fancily dressed man. In those days that meant finely tailored clothes and a tricorn hat richly garnished with feathers.
In the song, "Yankee Doodle" is mocked as a hick farmer in crude homemade clothing who stupidly thinks that putting a feather in his clumsy farmer's hat makes him a "macaroni," a stylish dude, if you will...
because macaroni rhythmes with pony, which he was riding when he came to town...
cause that was the style back then
BECAUSE HE'S KOOL!
