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 ↴
She break it down, she take it low
She's fine as hell, she's about the dough
Doing her thing right on the floor
Her money money, she makin'
Look at the way she shakin'
Make you want to touch her, wanna taste her
Have you lustin' for her, goin' crazy face it
She's so much more than you're used to
Know's just how to move to seduce you
She gone do the right thing and touch the right spot
Dance in your lap till you're ready to pop
She's always ready, when you want it she want' it
Like a nympho, the info
Show you where to meet her
On the late night, till daylight the club jumpin'
If you want a good time,
she's gonna give you what you want
Baby it's a new age,
You like my new craze
Let's get together
Maybe we can start a new phase
The smoke's got the club all hazy,
Spotlights don't do you justice baby
Why don't you come over here, you got me saying
Ayo
I'm tired of using technology,
Why don't you sit down on top of me
Ayo
I'm tired of using technology
I need you right in front of me
In her fantasy, it's plain to see
Just how it be, on me, backstrokin',
Sweat soaking
All into my set sheets
When she ready to ride, I'm ready to roll
I'll be in this bitch till the club close
What should I do on all fours
Now that that shit should be 'gainst the law
Different style, different move,
Damn I like the way you move
Girl you got me thinking about,
All the things I do to you
Let's get it poppin' shorty
We can switch positions
From the couch to the counters in my kitchen
Baby it's a new age,
You like my new craze
Let's get together
Maybe we can start a new phase
The smoke's got the club all hazy,
Spotlights don't do you justice baby
Why don't you come over here, you got me saying
Ayo
I'm tired of using technology,
Why don't you sit down on top of me
Ayo
I'm tired of using technology
I need you right in front of me
Uh, she wants it, uh, she wants it.
Hm, she wants it, I got to give it to her
She wants it, hm, she wants it,
Hm, she wants it, I got to give it to her

Why don't you come over here, you got me saying
Ayo

Why don't you sit down on top of me
Ayo
I'm tired of using technology
