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 ↴

Si supieras amor
cuanto te e soñado
en mis noches...
solo a ti!!!

Te necesito mi amoooor!!!!
seguro ke si...

Cada vz ke voi por la caie
te encuentro, y me miras
me imagino ke kieres algo conmigo
ke no me aogo, y me eskivas
io noc ke tienen tus ojos,
tus ojos sinverguenzas,
tu ojos provocadores...
ke me lastiman, ke me arrebatan
sus labios tentadores ke me acn dañooo...

Mi cuerpo no esta echo de metal
mi cuerpo no esta echo de madera
mi cuerpo no esta echo de carton
ni de sedaaa...(bis)lai lai lai lai laaai...

Pero mui pronto pienso conkistarte
espera ia vendra mi momento
me deskitare de tu abuso sensual
me convertire en tu amante abitual
porque...

Mi cuerpo no esta echo de metal
mi cuerpo no esta echo de madera
mi cuerpo no esta echo de carton
ni de sedaaa...(bis)lai lai lai lalailalaaa...
salsa... kon amor!!!

(Mi cuerpo no esta echo de metal,
mi kuerpo no esta echo de madera)
Mi cuerpo no esta echo de carton
ni de madera mi vida te kiero a mi manera
(Mi cuerpo no esta echo de metal,
mi kuerpo no esta echo de madera)
Si me komprendieras, si me conocieras
supieras... ke tu eres la primera
(Mi cuerpo no esta echo de metal,
mi kuerpo no esta echo de madera)
Y en mi cuerpo solo caben dos
somos tu y io, y estamos lokos de amooooor...
si... solo a ti...
con el Dan Den!!!

(Mi cuerpo no esta echo de metal,
mi kuerpo no esta echo de madera)
Imagino un mundo de ilusiones junto a ti
sueño despierto, i al final no es asi
(Mi cuerpo no esta echo de metal,
mi kuerpo no esta echo de madera)

Ni de metal ni de madera mi china
kontigo me casariaaa... lai lai lai lalai...
