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 ↴
That's why I keep on callin' and I can't give up
I'll give you everything I've got from A to Z
If you will only throw your pretty love at me
She's got the kinda smile that would turn you up and down
She's got the kinda love that started men to slippin' round
Well I don't think I'm slippin' but I just have to say
For goodness grace you baby throw love my way
I know you got me hangin' from a broken limb
I'm like a little dog I've got to sink or swim
But I could swim the ocean like the Robert E Lee
If you are lonely you throw your pretty love at me
She's got the kinda smile...
[ guitar ]
I see your eyes are a gleamin' seen 'em gray and brown
If so I'm gonna turn this whole world upside down
I give my share and heaven and I'll get down on my knees
If you will only throw your pretty love at me
She's got the kinda smile...
