No. I did mean Yankee Doodle. I'd been reading the other thread on the song and seen the reference to YDD (which I really do mean here) and confused myself abbreviating (but not comparing)!

I still think there's little resembance and here's the tune from The Northumbrian Minstrelsy for those who want to check.
