When Frank (Murray) is taken back to witness his first meeting with his girlfriend, him and the Ghost of Christmas past watch as she hits his younger self between the eyes with the door. After a polite conversation, they part, but he tries to keep the conversation going, asking "do you shop here often? If you do, I could walk on the other side of the street." After that line, the camera shows the older Frand and the Ghost in the Taxi cab, and they both say "Rum-ba-Bum". What on earth is this supposed to mean?

It does represent the rimshot on the drums that is often used after a joke. The meaning in the film though, is that while they (Older Frank and the Cab Driver) are saying it, so is the younger Frank. That's why Frank gives him a strange look, he thought he knew what was coming but the ghost didn't.

It is supposed to represent the "rimshot".
"The term is erroneously used to refer to the sting played by the drummer in cabaret shows to accentuate the punchline of a joke. As a result, a particularly obvious laugh line is sometimes called a rimshot."
