First I saw it in a song called ヤミナベ, where it says なべがくるりくるりら回るよ, and I
didn't think much of it, since I could only find crayons when I searched it
up, then I saw it in a song called マグメル, where it said ぱっぱぱらりら. Before, I
didn't ask this question because I researched the ら in na-no adjectives, and I
assumed it was that ら. Am I right?

question
adverbs
Why is ら attached to り ending adverbs?
These are songs. Playing around with sounds is an important part of that. By
way of analogy, we could ask why certain singers of the 1940s and 50s tell us
so frequently to do something called "[wop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doo-
wop#Origin_of_the_name)". In short, I suspect that this ら you're hearing is
simply an inserted sound that is added because it sounds good and helps with
the rhythm and meter. I can find no information about ら added on the end of an
adverb and producing another adverb.
