We want your original high five inspired songs for the National High Five Day 2K6 mix! Click here for details!
The National High Five Day Mix is one of the grandest traditions of all of National High Five Day. The songs are carefully selected over the course of the year, and played non-stop as the lemonade flows. To qualify, a song must bear well the pressure of repeated listenings, sound good very loud and encapsulate the all around JOY of the holiday. Though there have been some missteps over the years, (ie that OAR song,) we stand by these mixes as the truest way to feel the spirit of the holiday.
We encourage you to do whatever it takes to obtain these songs. If one in particular is giving you trouble, email us and we can probably help you.
