Quite what the UK education system is coming to remains a mystery, but if Girls Aloud can't speak French, then there is clearly cause for grave concern.
However they claim they don't need the language, happy to "let the funky music do the talking". Which is all very well, but this time around the mid-paced groove isn't all that funky - a twitch in the little toe perhaps, but nothing more.
Yet it possesses that elusive quality found throughout the girls' career - yet another song that creeps up when you're not looking, lodging itself in your head. It's one of the reasons they retain their treasured status in British pop music.
