Beyoncé has turned 'Jolene', possibly the most honest love song of all time, into an advertising jingle. Jarvis Cocker thought it would be interesting to decide what music is for.
Why are we so upset that Beyoncé uses a revered '70s classic to write a new song? Dolly Parton is alive.

But it does something to them.
