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.
Quien como yo
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pero le gusta como yo le doy
(por eso ella llama a DON MIGUELO) si, si
Yo la pongo a volar
Cuando yo le doy besos
Pero no ta enamora de mi no, no
(oye el sistema)
A las tres de la mañana
Dice que soy su pana
Que le quita las ganas
(lo que pasa es que yo)
Yo nunca la dejo a media
Tu entiende el drama (oye)
Dice que soy su pana
Que le quita las ganas.
Mucha posiciones en la escalera
Amarrao en la cama yo encima de ella,
Amanecimos en la bañera
Y me la comí embarra de NUTELLA
Uso requisitos que otros no han usado
Y ella solo dice WAO.
Lo que yo hago nunca se ha inventado
(porque) ni el Kamasutra se lo han inventado.
Ella no ta enamora de mi,
(pero me quiere ver cerca) no, no
Pero le gusta como yo le doy
(sueña conmigo) si, si
Yo la pongo a volar
Cuando yo le doy besos
Pero no ta enamora de mi no, no
Ella no ta enamora de mi, no, no
Pero le gusta como yo le doy si, si
Yo la pongo a volar
Cuando yo le doy besos
Pero no ta enamora de mi no, no.
(o lo dice tu o lo digo yo)
¿quien te lo hace mejor que yo? yo
¿quien te toca mejor que yo? yo
¿quien te besa mejor que yo? yo
Po tu clara que yo soy el mejor en todo
¿quien te lo hace mejor que yo? yo
¿quien te toca mejor que yo? yo
¿quien te besa mejor que yo? yo
Si tu ta clara mamasita que yo soy el mejor.
Casi siempre me llama
A las tres de la mañana
Dice que soy su pana que le
Quita las ganas (lo que pasa es que yo)
Yo nunca la dejo a media tu
Entiende el drama (oye)
Dice que soy su pana
Que le quita las ganas.
Ella no ta enamora de mi, no, no
Pero le gusta como yo le doy si, si
Yo la pongo a volar
Cuando yo le doy besos
Pero no ta enamora de mi no, no.
Ay ombe
Mientras su novio juega CANDY CRUSH,
Yo le doy CON TOSH.
The lyrics to "Quien Como Yo" by Various Artists describe a casual relationship where the woman is not in love with the singer but enjoys his company and the way he makes her feel. He describes how she contacts him in the early hours of the morning, tells him he is her friend and relieves her desires. He feels they have a strong physical connection and that he can fulfill her needs in a way that nobody else can. He boasts about the different positions they try and the unique methods he uses to please her, claiming that he is the best at everything.
The song's lyrics reflect the ideology of a casual relationship with no strings attached, where the singer isn't looking for love, but rather enjoys the thrill of the chase. Through the use of sexually explicit language, the lyrics represent the patriarchal idea of masculinity, where the male's conquests are triumphant and admired by other men. He feels that the woman is lucky to have him, and he can provide her with something that nobody else can.
