1981 nahm Billy Idol den Klassiker neu auf. Erst in einer Liveversion, veröffentlicht im August 1987, wurde diese Coverversion erfolgreich und löste Tiffanys Version von I Think We’re Alone Now, das im Original ebenfalls von Tommy James & the Shondells stammt, in den Vereinigten Staaten von Platz 1 der Charts ab. Auch in Kanada erreichte Idols Version Platz 1 der Hitparade.
