"Here Come the Girls" is a song written by Allen Toussaint and originally recorded by Ernie K-Doe and released in 1971.
In 2007 the Boots pharmacy chain used the song for two separate television commercials (August 2007; summer 2008).[1] This led to the song re-charting (at #43 for five weeks in the UK; and #48 in 2007 in Ireland[1] [2] [3] and again at #89 for two weeks in 2008).[3] It was this advertisement which the Sugababes heard and subsequently interpolated.[1] [4] After August 2008 it was the Sugababes cover which was used in the Boots advertisements.
In 2008 the Sugababes' version reached No. 3 in the UK and No. 12 in Ireland,[5] and was certified silver by the BPI.[6]
In 2017, Trombone Shorty covered the song.
