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)
