Yankee Doodle went to town
riding on a pony
stuck a feather in his hat
and called it macaroni!
What did he call macaroni? The pony? The feather? the hat?

i suppose he was calling hit outfit macaroni
A macaroni, in mid-18th-century England, was a fashionable fellow who dressed and even spoke in an outlandishly affected manner. The term pejoratively referred to a person who exceeded the ordinary bounds of fashion in terms of clothes, fastidious eating and gambling

It doesn;t matter, as the song is derisive in nature and any of those items can be macaroni
