Esco dal mio corpo e ho molta paura: Gli inediti 1979–1986 is the third album by Italian rock band Elio e le Storie Tese. It is a "fake" live album (actually recorded live, but in a recording studio in Milan with an audience made up of the band's relatives and friends) featuring many songs written and performed by the band during their early pre-fame phase, in the 1980s, which were not included on the previous records.

Background

The album was recorded as a response to demands by early fans of the band: after they had become well known on the Italian alternative rock scene following the relative chart success of their first two albums, they were constantly being asked by fans to play old songs when they performed in clubs, but they rarely complied. The band stated that the album was a way for them to get rid of a number of old, unreleased songs by actually releasing them, so they could record and release newer ones. However, "Alfieri", a common closer of early shows and a fan favourite, is absent from the record. A number of cover versions with parodied lyrics were also not featured, because of copyright reasons.

Songs

Derived song

In 2000, seven years after the release of this collection, the band used the same melody as "Ùnanimi", with different lyrics, for the verses on their dance/pop single "La gente vuole il gol" (English: "People want the goal"), which was released as a promotional freebie with the June 23, 2000 issue of the Italian satirical magazine Cuore. For the choruses of the song, intended as an ironical "unofficial theme" for the UEFA Euro 2000 soccer championship, Elio used a variation of Baroque composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier's famous Marche en Rondeau, from his Te Deum, which is still used today as a fanfare during television broadcasts of the Eurovision Network and the European Broadcasting Union. Elio rewrote the theme in a slightly anthemic style, but still within the main dance style of the song.

Album artwork

The front cover of the album is a reference to the band's early days, when Tanica promoted the band's gigs through self-made posters in which he replaced the band members' heads with porn stars. Here, the band members' then-current faces were pasted in the same way (but by means of CGI) over the bodies of Tanica's family in a very old (1970s) family photo shot in their garden – except for Feiez, whose adult face was pasted over an ugly-looking childhood photo of him.
