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 ↴
Hope you bringle me a bundle
Tingle on my tingle Santa
Bring my favorite thingles
Some mittens for the monkeys
But make sure they're pretty funky
Some leggings for the lion
Frogs and gators and monkeys immense
Everybody jingle to the jungle dance
We have candles and lights and jingle bells
Pick me missionary, it's cathedrals
The lyrics of "Rockin' In The Jungle" by Various Artists can be interpreted in various ways. One possible interpretation of the song is that it's a lighthearted and whimsical wishlist to Santa Claus for jungle-themed Christmas gifts. The singer is hoping that Santa will bring them a bundle of gifts that will make them tingle with excitement. The singer then goes on to make specific requests for gifts for various animals in the jungle, such as mittens for the monkeys and leggings for the lion.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the festive atmosphere of the jungle, with everybody jingling to the jungle dance. The singer also mentions candles, lights, and jingle bells, which further highlight the celebratory mood. The final line of the song, "Pick me missionary, it's cathedrals," is somewhat ambiguous, but it may be a reference to the singer's desire to spread the joy of Christmas to others, like a missionary spreading the gospel.
