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.

Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly
Just a little change
Small to say the least
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the beast
Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise
Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong
Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast
The song "Beauty and the Beast" is a classic tale about two unlikely individuals who learn to look past each other's differences and find beauty within each other. The lyrics are a reflection of the profound bond that forms between them, and how unexpected love can be.
The first few lines describe the familiarity and age of the story, "Tale as old as time, true as it can be", and how the connection between the two characters starts off as a friendship, "Barely even friends, then somebody bends, unexpectedly". The next lines suggest how a small change can bring about a big impact, "Just a little change, small to say the least, both a little scared, neither one prepared, Beauty and the beast".
The chorus hints at the constancy and predictability that comes with every love story, but it's still unique and surprising, "Ever as before, ever just as sure, as the sun will rise / Tale as old as time, tune as old as song, bittersweet and strange, finding you can change, learning you were wrong". The last lines show how universal and timeless the story is with "Certain as the sun rising in the east, tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme, Beauty and the beast".
Overall, "Beauty and the Beast" is a beautiful song that highlights how love can happen in unexpected ways, and that there's beauty within everyone, even if it takes time to find it.
