Song Name Run Time Major Release Year  Differences From Other Versions
Don't Let's Start (1985 Demo Tape Version) 1:14 1985 Demo Tape; Then: The Earlier Years 1985 Apart from this sounding like a work-in-progress version of the The Pink Album version, it also features far less lyrics than it's album conterpart (No verses, only the choruses and the bridge).
Don't Let's Start 2:36 They Might Be Giants, A User's Guide to They Might Be Giants: Melody, Fidelity, Quantity 1985  
Don't Let's Start (WFMU Demo) 2:36 The Frank O' Toole Show 1987  
Don't Let's Start (Single Mix) 2:35 Don't Let's Start (EP); Don't Let's Start (LP); Miscellaneous T; Then: The Earlier Years, Dial-A-Song - 20 Years Of They Might Be Giants 1987 The main difference between this mix and the They Might Be Giants (debut album) version is in the "I don't want to live in this world anymore" section. This version adds a bass synth that plays underneath Linnell's vocal. Overall, the instrumentation in this mix is a little more spaced out, and the mix contains more reverb.
Don't Let's Start (Live NYC Version)   Live!! New York City 10/14/94, WLIR 92.7 Bootleg '98 1994
