The song was covered by Fozzy with Butch Walker on vocals and guitar on their debut album, Fozzy, on 24 October 2000.[5] In his review of the album, Steve Huey of AllMusic felt the cover had a "...tendency to go a little too far over the top..."[6]
The song was covered on Stryper's album The Covering on 15 February 2011.[7] In his review of the album, Mark Allen of Hardrock Haven felt the cover version was a misstep and that "there are far better Ozzy offerings than "Over the Mountain.""[8] But Morgan Y. Evans of MetalRiot thought the cover version was "...well suited to the signature soaring Stryper vocals you love or hate)."[9]
The song was covered by The Word Alive for the compilation album Punk Goes X on 25 January 2011[10] and then later included on their deluxe edition of Deceiver on 7 June 2011. In his review of the album, Matthew Kurtiz of Metal Delirium liked "the screams behind the main vocals."[11]
The song was covered by Epidemic as a secret track on their 1994 album Exit Paradise.
