Stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni

[opus]

Yankee Doodle went to town
Riding on a pony,
Stuck a feather in his cap
And called it macaroni

What did he call macaroni, the feather or the cap? It’s things like this that keep me up nights.

Regardless of whether or not the feather or the cap got the name, my question is why macaroni and not some other name?

Mainly because macaroni rhymes with pony.
