The song was again popular when it was covered and released as a single by The Lettermen in 1968. This version peaked at No. 44 on the Billboard Hot 100; it was more successful on the Easy Listening chart, where it peaked at No. 8.[4][5]

Mexican singer Enrique Guzmán recorded a Spanish version in the 1960s titled "Tu cabeza en mi hombro". In Latin America, this cover is even more popular than the original one. Chilean singer Myriam Hernández recorded this version in a duet with Paul Anka himself in its original version.[citation needed]

Australian singer Derek Redfern covered the song, which peaked at number 71 on the Australian Kent Music Report in 1974.[6]

American singer Leif Garrett released a cover of the song in 1978, which eventually reached number 58 on the Billboard Hot 100.[7]

American rapper and singer Doja Cat sampled it in her 2021 song "Freak". The rhythm is similar between the two songs as well, heard throughout.[8]

Former-Menudo band Puerto Rican singer Robby Rosa and the Brazilian duo "Gabriela e Tatiana" recorded Portuguese versions in the 1980s, Robby's version being "Com você nos meus sonhos" and Gabriela and Tatiana's version being "Essa mão no meu ombro".[citation needed]



A mashed up version of Doja Cat's "Streets" containing the first 12 seconds of "Put Your Head on My Shoulder" became a TikTok challenge known as the "Silhouette Challenge".[9]
