Sugababes: 'Girls'

Yes, they have done what you think they've done. The new Sugababes single - the first one from their upcoming sixth album - nicks its chorus from 'Here Come The Girls' by sixties Rhythm and Blues singer Ernie K. Doe. Or as it's more commonly known, "That Song From The Boots Advert".

Around it they've built a brassy, funky, Ronsonish pop song with lyrics that push all the usual female empowerment buttons ("With or without a man I feel complete..."). The result is smart, catchy and very, very 2008 - and it sounds pretty good on the radio too. But it's also the first lead single from a Sugababes album that it's difficult to get excited about.
