Here Come The Girls

WWOZ reports that Ernie K-Doe had a number one hit in England this Christmas, more than six years after his death in 2001. It's thanks to this clever ad for the cosmetics department of the Boots drugstore chain that uses his 1970 recording, "Here Come the Girls." The ad puts the song into a new context (and what a massive shoot that must have been!), and the music did the rest. I'd never heard this song before, but I'll be keeping an ear out for it.



Go Ernie!
