"The Girls" has often been associated with the fictional EastEnders characters Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell. When they were introduced in 2007, a trailer announcing their arrival featured the song which showed Roxy dancing wildly and Ronnie spraying the residents with a soda syphon as some cheer them on whilst others look dismayed.[13] The song featured in a 2013 episode of show which showed Roxy dancing to the song whilst drunk before falling off a table. "The Girls" was finally featured in the pair's final episode in 2017 at Ronnie's wedding where the arrival trailer is recreated as Ronnie and Roxy both spray the wedding attendees with soda syphons.[14][15]
