Billy Joel's blue collar folk-rock/pop rock anthem, Allentown, was the lead track from the 1982 album the Nylon Curtain. It spent six weeks on Billboard's Hot 100 and was certified gold. The intro and strumming patterns used throughout the song were written to mimic the sound of steel plant manufacturing that is mentioned in the lyrics.
