Cover Versions
- In 1978, the Swedish artist Magnus Uggla did a punk rock cover of the song with lyrics in Swedish called "Stjärnluder" ("Star Whore") on his album Vittring.
- Joan Jett included a completely uncensored version as an unlisted hidden track on the cassette version of her 1983 album Album , which resulted in a ban of this tape by WalMart and other stores. MCA then issued a second cassette version in a red plastic box that deleted the objectionable song. The song reappeared on her Flashback compilation in 1993.
- The 1978 Cheech & Chong comedy film Up In Smoke features a cover version of the song during the Strawberry scene. However, the record skips and repeats the line "Star Fucker, Star" ad infinitum.
- Croatian band Psihomodo Pop released their own version of Starfucker, on their 1993 album Srebrne Svinje.
