The Foo Fighters covered "Bad Reputation" and released it on their covers album, Medium Rare. 24-7 Spyz also covered the song on their album Face the Day.
The Smashing Pumpkins covered "Dancing in the Moonlight (It's Caught Me in Its Spotlight)" for various live performances, turning the upbeat, overlayed melody of the original into a slowly-paced acoustic tune.
