Songs Of The Week

Songs Of The Week are pop-style feature songs which correspond with the weekly theme and set an educational topic for the week's episodes.

The Songs Of The Week are the main songs for each five-day weekly set week of episodes, and each song sets the theme for that respective week. They appear at the beginning and at the end of every episode. Some Songs Of The Week were remade by a later incarnation of the Australian Hi-5 cast or an international Hi-5 cast from overseas. From 1999 to 2011, there are opening week themes to represent each song, shown with orange characters (Series 1-10) and toy characters (2009-2011), where the theme title is announced by kids offscreen. Since 2013, the Hi-5 House era, there is no week theme. In the Vietnamese version (Chào Bé Yêu), there is only one Song Of The Week (Some Kind Of Wonderful).

After the Song Of The Week is performed at the beginning of every episode, each member introduces themselves individually, then the group introduce themselves in unison saying “And together, we're Hi-5!” In Hi-5 Fiesta, the group instead says in Spanish “...will begin the Hi-5 Party!” or “...and today we will make an incredible Hi-5 Party!” The Song Of The Week recording featured at the end of each episode includes credits for individual members of the group (except for You And Me from Series 1). For the British version, and Series 2 of the Philippines version, on-screen lyrics were added to the video for the ending version of each song, resulting in a setup kind of like a sing-along.

From Series 7 onwards, after the Song Of The Week is performed at the end of every episode, the group interacts and high-fives with the audience while the credits roll. However, in “Changing” week, the group and the audience dance, and in “Wonderful” week, children take the Hi-5 band's places as the song, Some Kind Of Wonderful, is played. Since 2013, the Hi-5 House era, the group says goodbye at the end of the credits, followed by the Hi-5 Operations Pte Ltd logo. However, in the Animal Dance song week, the audience cheered while the members wave to the screen. In Hi-5 Fiesta, the Song Of The Week is still shown during the credits. In Hi-5 Indonesia, the Hi-5 logo does not change into the Hi-5 Operations Pte Ltd logo, but instead fades to black, followed by the Falcon Kids logo.

Trivia[]

Apart from the remakes and foreign-language dubs, there have been a total of 110 Songs Of The Week.
In the Series 13 version, "Wow!" and "Some Kind Of Wonderful" is renamed to "Amazing" and "Wonderful", a reference to the week theme in the original version (it wouldn't count for Series 13 because the week theme for Some Kind Of Wonderful is "Friends").
In Series 5, there are three songs from Series 1 that have remakes: "Ready Or Not", "L.O.V.E.", and "Dream On".
"Wow!", "Some Kind Of Wonderful", "Wish Upon A Star" and "Making Music" are the only songs to return two times in the same set.
Hi-5 USA is the only adaptation to use the same sets from the original version, including the segments, segment intros (except Jenn), and more.
- While Hi-5 Philippines does use the Series 7-13 Songs Of The Week set in Series 1, the next series used a different kind of set.
