No, the place in the song "How Are Things in Glocca Morra" from the musical Finian's Rainbow was fictitious.

Was there a real place called Glocka Morra what was the nationality you are all familiar with the song?

You want to look for the Broadway musical comedy Finian's Rainbow (1947). "How are things in Glocca Morra" was one of the biggest hit songs in the show. It is set in Ireland. Fantasy is not about real places. Yes, I know you wish it was real.


What does Glocka mora stand for it is a song but is there a place with that name possibly in Ireland?

The music was composed by Burton Lane and the lyrics written by E. Y. Harburg. The song was published in 1946 and introduced in the 1947 musical Finian's Rainbow. There is no actual Glocca Morra in Ireland, and the words "Glocca Morra" are not even Gaelic. In a television interview late in his life, Harburg revealed that the name "Glocca Morra" was made up by composer Lane, who had devised a dummy lyric beginning with the line "There's a glen in Glocca Morra". Harburg liked the name but insisted on changing the line to "How are things in Glocca Morra?," as this is more personal.
