In 1970, Lou Reed was approached about a project to turn A Walk on the Wild Side into a musical, a story he tells between songs on the his 1978 Live: Take No Prisoners album. The project never materialized, but he used the title for his song, "Walk on the Wild Side," describing the lives of the transsexuals and transvestites he saw at The Factory.

In the South Park season 14 episode, "The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs," the final lines of the boys' novel are a nearly direct quotation of the final line of A Walk on the Wild Side.
