Of The 2 songs Ringo wrote with the Beatles "Don't Pass Me By" is my favorite over "Octopus's Garden" which I don't like as much. There's nothing wrong with it it's a good little rock and roll song and I love to sing it at Karaoke. and as the saying goes "How can anybody hate Ringo?"

I like it, but I think the take is not as good as it could have been, the sound is a bit dirty. Still it is a great song. My favourite line is the one that says "you were in a car crash and you lost your hair"
In the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
Hello, I'm new. I reackon "Don't pass me by" is OK (it fits well in it's place in the album). Octupus's Garden is a crime against humanity. One of those songs Rolling Stones farns drag up in arguements in the pub.
I like Ringo's sing songs!!! Don't Pass Me By is great!

Don't Pass Me By should be considered an early country rock classic by the Beatles with Ringo on vocals along with being one of his finest moments & one of the first songs he ever wrote.
I want you, I want you so bad babe. I want you, I want you so bad. It's driving me mad, it's driving me mad.
The version on Anthology III is better, because it hasn't got that irritating whining violin on it, and the focus is more on Ringo's voice because of it. Also it starts off withh Ringo's hard drum beats which sounds better too. On the Fly On The Wall free CD with Let It Be...Naked, John and Paul discuss it and say something about people in their local pub enjoying singing it. Sounds pretty much like a pub song come to think of it. A Hard Day's Write explains that Ringo wrote it in 1964, but couldn't get it recorded until 1968!
