"Runnin' with the Devil" is the second single from Van Halen's 1978 eponymous debut album. The song lyrics were inspired by the Ohio Players song "Runnin' from the Devil".[1] In 2009, it was named the 9th greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1.[2] Chuck Klosterman of Vulture.com ranked it the eighth-best Van Halen song, praising the staccato bass playing as well as David Lee Roth's vocal performance.[3]
