On an earlier thread , Fitzfun explained Yankee Doodle Dandy asJust found out and sorry if this has been posted before or but the first tweet that Jimmy Savile wrote to to Philip the Yankee Doodle Dandy one This song was considered way back in the day a homophobic slur why does he say Yankee Doodle Dandy , Thanking you Mr Schofield! is that some kind of code for something? What had Philip done that he was thanking him for???
( if you Google it New York Times article is a great source about the history of the song)
"The first line of Saville first tweet to Schofield. Yankee Doodle Dandy. The first line is I am the kid with all the Candy..Apparently in the 1940s Candy meant hot stuff."
