Allentown's national reputation as a rugged blue collar city has led to many references to the city in popular culture, The city is globally known as the subject of the popular Billy Joel song, "Allentown," which was originally released on Joel's The Nylon Curtain album in 1982. The song depicts the resolve of Allentonians, amidst the rough and hardened life that characterizes this East Coast, industrial city. "Allentown" also references nearby Bethlehem, home of then-declining (and now defunct) Bethlehem Steel.

Allentown features very prominently in the famed Broadway musical 42nd Street as the hometown of up and coming showgirl Peggy Sawyer. When Sawyer is asked to fill in for the show's star, who breaks her ankle prior to the show's debut, Sawyer tells director Julian Marsh that she would prefer to return to Allentown. In an effort to keep her with the musical, Marsh then sings to her perhaps the most famed lyrics in Broadway theatre history: "Come on along and listen to the lullaby of Broadway," which convinces Sawyer to stay. On the musical's opening night, just before the curtains rise, Marsh tells the fictional Allentown native the famous, now often repeated Broadway line: "You're going out there a youngster, but you've got to come back a star!" Sawyer is a surprising smash hit, and Marsh's musical, starring Sawyer, goes on to great success.
