Don’t Bother Me by The Beatles - ***
First released: 1963
Actually this is a much better composition from George Harrison than he's usually given credit for. I’m wondering how much input ol’ George received from John and Paul. Even if he didn’t, it’s still a marvelous piece of work for a first composition and the best thing he wrote for the next couple of years (see "You’ll Know What to Do" for comparison). It originally appeared on "With The Beatles" in the UK and also appeared briefly in "A Hard Day's Night".

Don’t Be Scared by Yoko Ono - **
First released: 1984
It’s strange that Yoko released kind of so-so stuff for the "Milk and Honey" album. Perhaps she was saving the better stuff for her upcoming "Star Peace" album. Besides, if her stuff sounded too polished, it would have totally blown away Lennon’s demo material.

Don’t Be Cruel by Ringo Starr - ***
First released: 1992
Ringo took a decent stab at the 1956 Elvis Presley classic that Cheap Trick had a bit hit with in 1988. It was the b-side of the "Weight of the World" single, but included on the Japanese edition of "Time Takes Time".

Don’t Be Careless Love by Paul McCartney - ***
First released: 1989
I like the harmonies on the chorus part of this song. It's from Paul's "Flowers in the Dirt". Otherwise, Paul kind of howls the rest of the song.
