Dick Dale Commercial
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008
Oh, Dick Dale. You’ve proven yourself awesome once again.
The legendary surf rock artist has managed to do what few musical artists do when it comes to commercials: not only has he retained the rights to a song he allowed to sound in a commercial, he also APPEARED in the commercial himself. In this case it’s a Nissan commercial that has a bunch of surfers heading down to the beach in a Nissan in total silence.
Then, just as they’re all lined up to head into the surf, Dick Dale steps out of the Nissan - and starts playing the iconic Misirlou. They even have a shot of his name on his guitar.
It’s surprisingly badass, for a commercial. Check it out below.
