Where did the singer Buckcherry get his name from?

The name does not come from Chuck Berry, but is actually the name of a transvestite who would come to their shows and bum cigarettes off the band members. They were originally called Sparrow, but another band already had that name, so they were forced to make the change.\n\n:)

I may be wrong but I believe it was Rutherford B Hayes. He was born in Ohio, and I think he prefered them in a sweet potatoe pie. If I am wrong, forgive me.

Well it does come from the song Yankee Doodle Dandy but the question is where does Yankee come from. You Yanks called us Limeys and that is because our sailors used to eat limes to protect against scurvy on their long sea voyages.\nBTW the Cockney (London Dialect) for a Yank is a  "Septic" from "Septic Tank" which in true Cockney rhyming slang  form the "Tank" rhymes with Yank but the first un-rhyming part is used, Apple and Pears meanind Stairs becomes Apples, Currant Bun meaning Sun becomes Currant,Frog and Toad meaning  Road becomes Frog.\nSo 'the Septic went up the Apples and had a Lemon' translates to 'the Septic Tank went up the Apple and Pears to have a Lemon Squash' i.e. 'the Yank went up the stairs and had a wash!'. Whole conversations can be had using Cockney rhyming slang!!\nGuess it doesn't answer your question but goes to show how bizarre our language is!

I'm not entirely sure, but I think it originated with the Rolling Stones as they described their backstage parties for an interview of somesort. The saying has pretty much been adopted by every rock group and wannabe rocker eversince as a way of answering why they're in the music buisness.

So many questions, Fair Rie! Six at a blow!\n\nThe song, apparently, is an English parody of a Dutch Harvest song which went 'Yanker dudel doodle down ...'.  I am not sure what it means but 'bagpipe' is 'dudelsack' in German and if you recall those harvest pictures by the Brueghels, there is usually a paunchy little man playing the dudelsack somewhere in them. \n\nBut I digress. \n\nThe song arrived in England around the time when Oliver Cromwell was around and by a process of esquimbulating the words were transmogrified into "Yankee Doodle came to town ..".  Yankee, it is related, is a mispronunciation of the Dutch word Engels, meaning Englishman and a doodle is, of course, a silly person, hence 'Stupid Englishman'. He rides upon a pony because country bumpkins ride on ponies, not horses. He sticks a feather in his hat to look (as he thinks) smart and up to the fashion of the day. So why does he call it macaroni? Surely not because it rhymes with 'pony'? No indeedy! In them thar days there was a Gentlemans Club for the idle rich where the young dandies vied to dress in as outrageous and colourful manner as possible. This club was named after an exotic food, recently imported from Italy, called Macaroni. Hence for the dandy bumpkin, Yankee Doodle, to stick a feather in his hat was, he thought, outrageous and clever and so he called it macaroni.\n\nAt the time of the Revolution (the American one, no less) the British troops remembered this song and used it to pour scorn and ridicule on the colonials, who they considered to be mere bumpkins (who grew pumpkins and were, perhaps, assisted in this task by the Fairy Dimmock - recently reincarnated as a proper charlie ... but I digress). Thus far we have the story of Mr Yankee Doodle and his holey noodles. (See ref. 1)\n\nYou wish to know also, why Peter Pan and Robin Hood also had feathers in their caps? Then I shall attempt an elucidation.\n\nAt reference 2, please observe the genuine article in a rather off shade of Lincoln Green with Scarlet trimmings (as modeled by a rather nervous man from the Accounting Department of SillyJokes). Now, this same article is sold, slightly beaten about, as the Tyrolean Hat (check the link at the side). Same pukey green, same scarlet trimming, a size smaller and ... oops ... same Mervin from Accounts. Hah! How do we change a Tyrolean hat into a Robin Hood hat? Simple! By the application of a little piggery-pokery and a 10" Turkey Feather ... bootiful!\n\nPeter Pan also has a very similar hat to Robin Hood. In fact the same article is sold by many outlets as a Peter Pan/Elf/Robin Hood hat. (Reference 3 shows just one style - this time closer to Lincoln Green). My surmise is that the feather is added so that the passing customer doesn't exclaim "Oh, look at that lovely green bicycle saddle cover! Just the thing for Graham!" \n\nI hope that I have flumbagated your question correctly, Fairy Snodquillop, and have delivered thee with a fair and rumbuginous answer.

Both answers above are correct, but I thought you might like an example.  The term Buckaroo for Cowboy started as an American mispronunciation of the Spanish word, "vaquero" which also means cowboy.
