Meaning of “whip” in a song by The Fold
My kids watch the "Lego NinjaGo" series and have been asking me about the title song, called "Weekend Whip" by The Fold. As much as I tried looking for the meaning of the word "whip" in the context of the song I couldn't find anything that would make sense. I guess it should mean something like "fight" or "training", but I am not sure about either. Could someone shed some light on it for me? Here's a short extract for reference:
We just jump up, kick back, whip around and spin,
and then we jump back, do it again
Ninja-Go!
Ninja, come on, come on
and do the weekend whip!

Consider taking a "whip" -- a leather belt of sorts -- and waving it around over your head or as you turn in a circle. To "whip" is to move in a rapid semi-circular motion, generally with some sort of strap or lever arm extended from the axis of motion.

"Do the weekend whip" is simply providing a name for the dance.

I'm not familiar with the song, but when I read it in your question, I immediately thought of the meaning "to move quickly", which is borne out by these two definitions:
verb:
[no object, with adverbial of direction]
Move fast or suddenly in a specified direction.
‘he whipped round to face them’
[with object and adverbial of direction]
Take out or move (something) fast or suddenly.
‘he whipped out his revolver and shot him’
Source: Oxford Dictionary
So "whip around" means to turn around very quickly - just as a person holding a whip would move it very quickly to 'whip' someone.
