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.
I Think I Love You
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got too nervous to ask you out to the prom-bie
I wish I could make you mine
When I open my mouth I sound like Frankenstein
Every night, I stay awake like a vampire
I just wanna get close to you hold your hand-pire
I can't think of what to say, I sound like such a dummy
Girl, it's freaky
My heart is weaky
My teeth are extra sharp, my body's extra hairy
I'm running in the dark
I love you so much, it's scary
(Ooh, yeah, scary, it's scary, girl, rap time)
I close my eyes and you're still there
You're the girl of my dreams, nope, my nightmares
You're like Jason, Mike Myers, Carrie and Freddy
But I don't want to run away, I want to go steady
It's Halloween
I'm scared of the dark
Going door to door to your mama's house
I can feed her
Got to get that candy
Gotta put in my bag, whatcha have
Ooh, trick or treat!
Girl, it's freaky
You trick or treat me
My teeth are extra sharp, my body's extra hairy
I'm running in the dark
I love you so much, it's scary
Girl, it's freaky
You trick or treat me
My teeth are extra sharp, my body's extra hairy
I'm running in the dark
I love you so much, it's scary
