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.
Crush On You
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i could be chasing but my time would be wasted
they got nothing on you baby
nothing on you baby
they might say hi and i might say hey
but you shouldn't worry about what they say
cos they got nothing on you baby
nothing on you baby
not not not nothing on you babe
not not nothing on you
i know you feel where i'm coming from
regardless of the things in my past that i've done
most of really was for the hell of the fun
on the carousel so around i spun (spun)
with no directions just tryna get some (some)
tryna chase skirts, living in the summer sun (sun)
this is how i lost more than i had ever won
and honestly i ended up with none
there's no much nonsense
it's on my conscience
i'm thinking baby i should get it out
and i don't wanna sou nd redundant
but i was wondering if there was something that you wanna know
(that you wanna know)
but never mind that we should let it go (we should let it go)
cos we don't wanna be a t.v episode (t.v episode)
and all the bad thoughts just let them go (go, go, go)
beautiful girls all over the world
i could be chasing but my time would be wasted
they got nothing on you baby
nothing on you baby
they might say hi and i might say hey
but you shouldn't worry about what they say
cos they got nothing on you baby
nothing on you baby
not not not nothing on you babe
not not nothing on you
hands down there will never be another one
i been around and i never seen another one
look at your style they ain't really got nothing on
and you out and you ain't got nothing on
baby you the whole package plus you pay your taxes
and you keep it real while them other stay plastic
you're my wonder women call me mr. fantastic

back home down in georgia to new orleans
but you always still to show (still to show)
and just like that girl you got me fro (got me fro)
like a nintendo 64 (64)
if you never knew well now you know (know, know, know)

everywhere i go i'm always hearing your name (name, name)
and no matter where i'm at girl you make me wanna sing (sing)
weather a bus or a plane or a car or a train

The song "Crush on You" by Various Artists, featuring B.o.B and Bruno Mars, is a love song about a man expressing his feelings for a special woman. The lyrics affirm his belief that she is the most beautiful girl in the world and that he's not interested in other women because she is the total package. He expresses his concerns about being judged or scrutinized by others but declares that those opinions don't matter because they have nothing on her. The lyrics also discuss the man's past experiences with women and how they don't compare to his current love interest. The song culminates with the man expressing that he can't get this woman out of his mind, and everywhere he goes, he's always hearing her name.
The song, "Crush on You," was well-received by the public and critics alike, in part due to its catchy beat and relatable lyrics. However, the song's success was mostly attributed to the rising popularity of the two artists featured on the track, as both B.o.B and Bruno Mars were on the brink of stardom at the time of its release. Interestingly, the song is known by different names in different countries, with some referring to it as "Beautiful Girls" and others as "Nothing on You."

@VideoFiles99
I have to admit it:
As a 50 year old now, I can honestly say that being a child and teen of the 70s and 80s was amazing! We had the best toys, TV shows, cartoons, movies, music (every genre was god level), clothes, playing outside, going to the malls and parks, cookouts....everything. The 90s were awesome too!
