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.

See, baby I, apologize
For all the things that I've done that I've done
See I've known that I've been a fool for far too long
And baby you have it, I go around to wait, just come back to papa
Please baby, baby won't you stay
If you really love me then why are you leavin me
I lose sleep just to daydream about you babyyyyyyyy
I'm going crazy, crazy, crazy, just to thinkin about you lately (crazy baby)
I'm going crazy, crazy, crazy, just to thinkin about you baby (I don't know what to do)
I'm going crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, thinkin about you lately (crazy, crazy, crazy)
I'm going crazy, crazy, (crazy, crazy) when I can touch you
Crazy, crazy (I'm going crazy) when I can hold you
Crazy, crazy, (I'm going crazy) when I can see you again
(Said I'm going crazy)
(Said I'm going crazy)
I've finally realized, that you are my true love
And I had a lot of time to think, and you're all seem to keep thinking,
To keep thinkin of, yeahhh
And now I know I need you each and every day
I can't live without you, so don't run away
Baby you say that you love me, so why'd you leave me, why (why, why, why, why)
I can't think, think about this crazy day
I lose sleep just to daydream about you baby (I'm going crazy)
I'm going crazy, crazy, crazy, just to thinkin about you lately (just to think)
I'm going crazy, crazy, crazy, just to thinkin about you baby
(I'm goin crazy, I'm going crazy)
I'm going crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, thinkin about you lately
I'm going crazy, crazy, (crazy, crazy) but I can't touch you (I'm going crazy)
Crazy, crazy (crazy, crazy), when I can hold you
Crazy, crazy, when I can see again (if I can see you, if I can see you if I can see you, if I can see you)
If I can see you, if I can see you again
Then I would go, if I could see you again
I'd go craeeae

What I See:
"I think the beauty of all art, is the ability to interpret what it means to the one perceiving it's start.
Not always is the original intention of the artist, what ends up being real to the one that parts with it."
I can't disagree. You may be correct; you may not ever see the crazy that I see.
Though so much of what's explained, sounds a lot like a poet's "love" to me.

My grandma passed away last night. She helped raise me. In the car she never really listened to any music, but one time she turned it on and this came on. We both sang and danced to it. From that moment on, this song became our song. I just need to post this somewhere that this song means the world to me. Thanks.

sorry for your lost

@@gatousakhel6206 I don't even care about likes, I just needed to say this. Likes don't get you anything here. I don't even care you don't believe me. But maybe the next time someone comes to you in grief, you'll have some compassion rather than trying to 'hurt' them (which is the only thing I can assume you're trying to do here).
@twilatharp3386
I enjoyed what you wrote, Nia. You'll miss your grandma for sure and I'm sorry she passed on. I had a great grandma too and it makes me happy just thinking about her anytime. Take care. xxx

Little fact for ya.. Gnarls removed “Crazy" from UK music stores after its ninth week at the top of the British charts so people would "remember the song fondly and not get sick of it."
If only other artists did the same!!
@--cerberus--3066
I eventually get sick of it, Or i just don't want to hear it as much. But, Want to hear something a little strange? I hear old town road playing in the distance every day i go outside. It's one of my neighbors. I don't know which one . I just hear it.
@mrgreatbritain
Crom Pazuzu this could have smashed the record had it not been removed!
@charleshunter7989
Gnarls couldn't have moved this song when it's cee lo green who sang this song
