Circle Line commercial, early 1980s

THE ONLY WAY TO SEE NEW YORK: Here's a vintage commercial WPIX aired on April 26, 1982 for the Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises. The jingle is short but super catchy. It aired often, a quick 10-second commercial tucked in before returning to programming. You'll instantly remember this — and won't get it out of your head all day!

Classic New York City TV Commercial The Circle Line (1978)

The only way to see NY, Circle it on the Circle Line. (toot, toot) Circle Line.
