- "Born to Be Abramo" is a disco medley/mashup by Italian comedy rock band Elio e le Storie Tese, originally released in 1990 as a 12" maxi-single. As its title implies, part of it is a parody of Patrick Hernandez's 1978 disco hit "Born to Be Alive", featuring the lyrics to "Esci dalla tua terra" (translatable as "Walk out of your land"), a 1973 Christian pop worship song by missionary Gigi Cocquio, about Abraham. The medley also includes fragments from an older (1969) worship song, priest/musician Domenico Machetta's "Resta con noi, Signore, la sera" (translatable as "Abide with us, O Lord, in the evening"), mixed with "Resta cu'mme" ("Stay with me" in Neapolitan), a 1957 hit by Domenico Modugno, as well as the chorus from Sylvester's 1978 song "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)", again sung with lyrics from "Esci dalla tua terra". According to comments by the band within the CD booklet for the first pressing of their 1997 greatest hits compilation Del meglio del nostro meglio Vol. 1, the medley was meant to satirize the musical stiffness of Italian worship songs rather than the Catholic Church, as well as the possible dilution of Christian-themed messages through musically hackneyed, trivial songs, with band leader Elio jokingly stating that the Church would increase its popularity among younger generations of worshippers if Christian songs actually sounded the way the band performed them. As of 2021, the song is officially available only in a slightly different version, re-recorded by the band in 1997 as a duet with Hernandez, for Del meglio del nostro meglio Vol. 1; the original 1990 single was withdrawn within two months from its release, because the Italian branch of Jehovah's Witnesses took issues with its parodic cover artwork, and became a collector's item.
