I watched Much Ado About Nothing and in the poem they recite the poem Hey Nonny Nonny Sigh no more, ladies, sigh nor more;
Men were deceivers ever;
One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant never;
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny;
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into. Hey nonny, nonny.
Sing no more ditties, sing no mo,
Or dumps so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so,
Since summer first was leavy.
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into. Hey, nonny, nonny.

This is something that was very common and very popular in medieval England. Basically, hey nonny nonny is nothing more than nonsense words, as is fa la la la la, la la la la (in the Christmas Carol Deck the Hall with Boughs of Holly)
and many other songs from that era.

Way back when, "Nothing" was slang for what women had between their legs. I believe that "Much ado about nothing" was a pun on that reference. "Hey nonny nonny" then is the lead woman saying let's not worry about men. I will keep you company myself.

I agree that it was a filler word, like shu-be-doo. I think I read somewhere that Shakespeare made it up. He used it often in his songs. There are books on Shakespeare's original sayings, perhaps your answer is there. Good luck.

It's just a catchy phrase to sell a tune. I think its like doo whap type of stuff or la la la.
