: Yes it has a rhythm for the chorus, simple as that (although "black balls on the patio"...I'll never be able to listen to that song again without laughing)

I think it is just melodic gibberish, along the lines of da doo ron ron da doo ron ron.

Does anyone know what the lyrics "musha ring dumma do dumma da" mean? They are from the song Whiskey in the Jar.
If you have any idea of a translation, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Mryan,
Irish music is filled with "nonsense" phrases like the one above. They tend to be part of choruses. I don't think they have any meaning or purpose except to fill up melodic space.

Roger is entirely correct. The meaning is... no meaning.

: I recognised it, and wouldn't most Chieftains fans recognise it? Otherwise I might have guessed it was an attempt to render the Gaelic phonetically...
