"
Here Come the Girls" is a song written by
Allen Toussaint and originally recorded by
Ernie K-Doe and released in 1970. It failed to chart at that time. In 2007 the
Boots Pharmacy chain used the song for two separate television commercials (August 2007; summer 2008). This led to the song re-charting (at #43 for five weeks in the UK; and #48 in 2007 in Ireland and again at #89 for two weeks in 2008). It was this advertisement which the
Sugababes heard and subsequently
sampled extensively. After August 2008, it is the Sugababes cover which is heard on the Boots advertisements.
