Cover versions
Mötley Crüe covered "White Punks on Dope" on their album New Tattoo, and performed it live in concert on their "Lewd, Crüed, & Tattooed" DVD. The Nina Hagen Band interpreted the song in a German-language version, translated to "TV-Glotzer" (with re-written lyrics about being an East German who lives vicariously by staring at West German television all day) on their self-titled debut album in 1978. In the 1993 film Fear of a Black Hat, the band N.W.H. (with Ric Ocasek of the Cars) perform a parody of "White Punks on Dope", titled "White Cops on Dope".
