"Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah)" was later covered by rock singer Joan Jett in 1980 for her debut solo studio album, Bad Reputation (1981).

Following the success of "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" nearly two years later, the song was released as a single in the summer of 1982 and reached No.

In 2011, the song was covered by guest star Gwyneth Paltrow and other cast members for the season 2 episode 15 of the musical television series Glee, "Sexy".

The performance caused some controversy in the UK over the resulting royalty payments to Glitter, who was by then a convicted sex offender.

[16] The UK version of the album Glee: The Music, Volume 5 does not therefore include the song, but replaces it with the cover of "Afternoon Delight" by Starland Vocal Band from the same episode.
