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 ↴
Please welcome Wagstaff's own puberty-positive players
The Hormone-iums, featuring Tina Belcher!
New friends on your face, it isn't yucky
You're breaking out and you're lucky (breaking out)
Can't keep it in any more (breaking out)
It's simple, it's pimples, you've got inside-out dimples
You're breaking out
Thank you, thank you, thank you
The song "Breaking in 2-3" is a comical and light-hearted take on the reality of puberty and the various changes that come with it - in particular, acne. The song is performed by The Hormone-iums, a fictional band created within the context of the TV show "Bob's Burgers" (which features the character Tina Belcher as a member). The lyrics encourage listeners to embrace the changes that come with puberty, even if that means breaking out in spots and pimples.
The opening lines introduce the performers, who are proudly "puberty-positive" and ready to sing about the topic. The first verse starts with the reassuring message that having new spots on your face is "not yucky" - it's a natural part of growing up. The chorus emphasizes the idea that acne is a sign of growth and development, with lyrics like "Can't keep it in any more" and "You're bursting out of your pores". The clever line "inside-out dimples" reframes pimples as a unique and interesting feature of the face, rather than something to be ashamed of.
Overall, "Breaking in 2-3" is a fun and catchy song that's sure to make listeners smile - especially those who have experienced the awkwardness of puberty first-hand.
