It’s meant to evoke a sense of excitement and fun, rather than convey a specific meaning. In the context of the song and the show, it symbolizes the action-packed and fantastical adventures of the series’ protagonist, Goku, and his friends as they battle powerful foes and seek out the Dragon Balls.)
