Interpreting the lyrics to Helloween's song "Hocus Pocus" can be challenging as they appear to be mostly nonsensical sounds without clear meaning. However, these sounds and syllables could be interpreted as a form of incantation or summoning of magical powers. The repetition of "joladadi" could be seen as a way of building up energy as in some traditional African and Caribbean religious ceremonies. The addition of the "oohs" and "ooooohs" towards the end of the lyrics could symbolize a climax or release of energy, perhaps signifying the invocation of some powerful force or entity.
Overall, the lyrics to "Hocus Pocus" may not have any literal meaning but can be interpreted as a form of casting a magical spell or summoning otherworldly forces. The repetitive and rhythmic nature of the lyrics adds to the hypnotic and otherworldly theme of the song, drawing the listener into a world of magic and mysticism.

A kickass version. Still can't beat the 1973 live version by Focus, but still pretty damn good.
