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

[maureen:]
every single day,
i walk down the street
i hear people say 'baby so sweet'
ever since puberty
everybody stares at me
boys girls i can't help it baby
so be kind and don't lose your mind
just remember that i'm your baby

take me for what i am
who i was ment to be
and if you give a damn
take me baby
or leave me

take me baby or leave me

[Maureen:]
a tiger in a cage
can never see the sun
this diva needs her stage baby
lets have fun
you are the one i choose
folks will kill to fill your shoes
you love the lime light to now baby
so be mine but don't waste my time
cryin' 'honey bear are you still my, my, my baby?'

take me for what i am
who i was ment to be
and if you give a damn
take me baby or leave me

no way, can i be what i'm not
but hey, don't you want your girl hot?
oh, don't fight, don't loose your head
'cause every night who's in your bed?
who?
who's in your bed?
spoken:kiss pookie

[Joanne:]
it won't work
i look before i leap
i love margins and discipline
i make list in my sleep baby
whats my sin?
never quit
i follow through
i hate mess but i love you
what do with my improptu baby?
so be wise 'cause this girl satisfies
you got a prize but don't compomise
your one lucky baby

[joanne:]
take me for what i am

[maureen:]
a control freak

[joanne:]
who i was ment to be

[maureen:]
a snob yet over attentive

[joanne:]
and if you give a damn

[maureen:]
a loveable droll geek

[joanne:]
take me baby or leave me

[maureen:]
a anal retentave

[both:]

[joanne:]
the straw that breaks my back

[both:]

[joanne:]
unless you take it back

[maureen:]
women what is it about them?

[both:]
can't live with them or without them

(Chorus:)
[both:]
take me for what i am

[joanne:]
who i was ment to be

[maureen:]
who i was ment to be and if you give a damn

[joanne:]
and if you give a damn then take me baby, or leave me

[maureen:]
take me baby, take me or la-la-la-la-la-leave me

[both:]
take me baby or leave me

[spoken:]
