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 Prรถfrock, 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.

Tous nos jeux รฉtaient les mรชmes
Aux gendarmes et aux voleurs
Tu me visais droit au coeur
Bang bang, tu me tuais
Bang bang, et je tombais
Bang bang, et ce bruit-lร
Bang bang, je ne l'oublierai pas
Nous avons grandi ensemble
On s'aimait bien il me semble
Mais tu n'avais de passion
Que pour tes jeux de garรงon
Bang bang, tu t'amusais
Bang bang, je te suivais
Bang bang, et ce bruit-lร
Bang bang, je ne l'oublierai pas
Un jour tu as eu vingt ans
Il y avait dรฉjร longtemps
Que l'amour avait remplacรฉ
Notre amitiรฉ du passรฉ
Et quand il en vint une autre
On ne sait ร qui la faute
Tu ne m'avais jamais menti
Avec elle tu es parti
Bang bang, tu m'as quittรฉe
Bang bang, je suis restรฉe
Bang bang, et ce bruit-lร
Bang bang, je ne l'oublierai pas
Quand j'aperรงois des enfants
Se poursuivre en s'amusant
Et faire semblant de se tuer
Je me sens le coeur serrรฉ
Bang bang, je me souviens
Bang bang, tout me revient
Bang bang, et ce bruit-lร
Bang bang, je ne l'oublierai pas
The lyrics of the song "Bang Bang" by Various Artists tells the story of two childhood friends who grew up together and played the same games. They were close and had a deep friendship, but as they grew older, the male friend lost interest in their bond and became more interested in his passions as a boy. When the female friend sees children playfully pretending to be police officers and robbers, she is reminded of the games they used to play as children together. However, she also canโt help but remember when the male friend betrayed her by leaving her for another woman. The term "Bang Bang" refers to the sound effect of imaginary gunshots that they both used as children, which remained imprinted in the female friend's memories whenever she sees children playing now.
The song explores the theme of nostalgia, memory, and the pain of losing someone dear to us. It depicts the transition from a deep childhood bond to a friendship lost due to the different interests and priorities of the two friends. The sound of "Bang Bang" rings out as a metaphorical reminder of the hopelessness and sorrow that the female friend feels about the lost friendship. The song emphasizes the lasting importance of childhood bonds and the sense of longing that comes with losing them.
