In 1978, Canadian punk-rock group The Diodes recorded Child Star, detailing Anissa's death by overdose in a sound and style reminiscent of The Ramones.
They were managed and produced by Paul Robinson and John Catto (The Diodes) a lead singer and guitarist in a revolutionary punk band during the 1970s and 1980s.
Richard Citroen was also a member of UK-based version of The Diodes.
Canadian punk rock group The Diodes recorded a cover of this song as the first track on their debut album, The Diodes (1977).
