Acura Taps Van Halen for a Hard-Driving Super Bowl Commercial
By MICHAEL McCARTHY
JAN. 28, 2016

This year, the luxury carmaker Acura is gambling that its use of Van Halen’s hard-driving rock n’ roll classic “Runnin’ With the Devil” will make its 30-second spot for the 2017 NSX high-end sports car stand out during CBS’ broadcast of Super Bowl 50 on Feb. 7.

If I owned a car company and I made Super Bowl commercials I’d use Panama first and then Runnin’ With the Devil. This is a can’t miss!

Not that I’m a big fan of the song … but I’m surprised they didn’t go for “Jump.”

Didn’t Nissan use YRGM back in ’98 or so. The commercial with the Ken doll picking up Barbie.

DLR (in 2002):
“Classic Van Halen made you want to drink, dance and fuck. Current Van Halen encourages us to drink milk, drive a Nissan and have a relationship.”
