Send us Fan MailToo Ra Loo Ra Loo Ra, That's an Irish Lullaby, Episode 189 TooRa LooRa LooRa had its beginnings at least as far back as 1837 with a humorous doggerell in the New York Monthly Magazine. It likely has roots in a nonsense word, “tur el lur elu” that was used in a 1720 French-language Christmas song, "Patapan". It has become associated with Irish American singer and songwriter Chauncey Olcott. Bing Crosby also had a hit record with this song.Support the show
