The Ruination of Motown

"Sugar pie, honey bunch, you know I love you" when I hear that on the radio, I think about brownies. I know selling music rights to commercials is an easy way to make a buck but why ruin an entire musical genre? My chorus is singing "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" and I loathe it because I have claymation raisins dancing in my head. Maybe the ruination of Motown can be traced back to how the genre was managed back in the day? Making a buck off of an old act sounds like the perfect MO of a manager or record exec. It could also be racism in sheep's clothing.
