The term Various Artists is used in the record industry when numerous singers and musicians collaborate on a song or collection of songs. Most often on Last.fm, compilation album tracks appear under the name of Various Artists erroneously because the individual artist is not listed in the album's ID3 information.
Compilation albums, for example.
Sometimes, single releases may be credited to Various Artists when their profits are going to charity and, usually in high-profile cases, are sometimes known by a group name. Examples include Band Aid with their releases of Do They Know It's Christmas? and USA for Africa with We Are The World.
Various Artists is also an actual performance name for Torsten Pröfrock, who runs the German DIN label. Torsten performs also as Dynamo, Erosion, Resilent, Traktor besides some others. He's a good friend of Robert Henke and since the Fall of 2004, he is a member of Monolake.
Various Artists was also a short-lived Bristol punk band formed by brothers Jonjo and Robin Key (originally from Birmingham). Other members were also simultaneously in Art Objects who went on to become The Blue Aeroplanes, the latter the Key brothers also co-wrote some songs and were involved in. When Various Artists imploded, the Key brothers went on to form Either / Or.
Various Artists also appear on tracks from musical theater soundtracks, due to the nature of having many cast members on one song, as well as an ensemble in some cases.
A Night To Remember
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't back out, can't back out (no)
Getting ready for the night of nights
The night of nights, alright
Don't Panic (Panic!)
Now do we have to dress up for the prom?
Dude, I don't think we have the choice
Yeah it's the night of all nights
Dressing to impress the boys
Do I want classic or vintage or plaid?
Where's the mirror?
I think this tux is too baggy
Too tight, it makes me look weird
Should I go movie star glamorous
Sassy or sweet?
Don't know, but no one better wear the same dress as me
It's the night of our nightmares
It's the night of our dreams
It's too late to back out of it
Hey
Makeovers, massages
Dont know what a corsage is
Been waiting all our lives for this
It's gonna be a night (can't wait)
To remember (aw man)
Come on now, big fun (alright)
It's gonna be the night (I guess)
To last forever (lucky us)
We'll never ever ever forget
Gettin' ready, get, gettin' ready
Gettin' ready, get, gettin' ready
(Hey you been in there an hour man)
So, what should I do with my hair?
Wheres my shaver?
Ooh, I love it
I look like a waiter
Should I fluff it?
It's get later already should be there
Her mother opens the door, I'm shakin' inside
He's here, it's time, the hours arrived
Dont know why her father's staring me down
Where's my purse? Lip gloss?
Now I'm really freaking out
Then something changes my world
The most beautiful girl
Right in front of my eyes
It's gonna be a night (Oh Yeah!)
To remember (That's for sure)
Come on now, big fun (Alright!)
It's gonna be the night (Yeah tonight)
To last forever (forever more)
We'll never ever ever forget
Who's that girl? (She's so fine)
Who's that guy? (I don't recognize)
Who's that girl? (She looks so good, yeah)
Guess you'll never really notice, but you probably should
Big fun, on the night of nights (alright)
The night of nights, tonight
Let's dance
On the night of nights
You know we're gonna do it right
It's gonna be a night to remember
It's gonna be the night to last forever
It's gonna be a night to remember
It's gonna be the night to last forever
(Last forever)
It's gonna be a night (you know it)
To remember (all time)
Come on now, big fun (big fun)
It's gonna be the night (love it)
To last forever (the rest of our lives)
We'll never ever ever forget
It's gonna be our night (oh yeah)
All together (say it loud)
Come on now, everyone (that's right)
It's gonna be a night (yeah tonight)
To remember (hear the crowd)
And never ever ever, never ever ever, never ever, never ever ever forget!
