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 Prรถfrock, 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 ↴
Shot through the heart, and your to blame, darling
You give love a bad name
An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven then put me through hell
Chains of love, got a hold on me
When passion's a prison you can't break free
yeah
There's nowhere to run
No-one can save me, the damage is done
Shot through the heart, and your to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name
You paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boys dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
You're a loaded gun
There's nowhere to run
No-one can save me, the damage is done
Shot through the heart, and your to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love...
Shot through the heart and your to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
Shot through the heart and your to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love...
You give love a bad name

You give love a bad name
โYou Give Love a Bad Nameโ is a song by American rock band Bon Jovi. The song was released in 1986 as the lead single from the bandโs third studio album, Slippery When Wet. The lyrics describe a failed relationship that leaves the singer feeling hurt and betrayed, blaming their partner for giving love a bad name.
The opening lines, โShot through the heart, and you're to blame, darling. You give love a bad nameโ set the tone for the song. The singer is blaming their partner for the pain theyโre feeling, suggesting that they took advantage of their love and trust. They go on to mention that they were promised heaven but ended up in hell, painting a picture of the emotional turmoil they experienced. They talk about feeling trapped in a prison of passion, unable to break free from their feelings for their partner who holds a strong grip on them like chains. The chorus talks about the damage thatโs been done, with nowhere to run and no one to save them from the heartbreak theyโre experiencing.
The lyrics are full of vivid imagery that help to evoke the emotions felt by the singer. The angelโs smile painted on their partnerโs face contrasts with the blood red nails on their fingertips, creating a sense of deception and danger. The line โYour very first kiss was your first kiss goodbyeโ is particularly poignant, suggesting that the relationship was doomed from the start.
