Mi Vendo
"Mi vendo" (lit. "I sell myself") is a 1977 Italian song composed by Renato Zero and Mario Vicari and performed by Renato Zero. It is the lead single of the album ''Zerofobia''.

The music was inspired by Barry White's disco production of the time. Thanks to the heavy rotation in (private radio stations which suddendly appeared in Italy following the liberalisation of the radio broadcasting system established by the Constitutional Court in 1976), the song became a surprise hit and marked Zero's commercial breakout. Zero re-recorded the song numerous times, notably in a duet version with Rita Pavone Rita Ori Filomena Merk-Pavone (, ; born August 23, 1945) is an Italian-Swiss pop singer, actress and showgirl, who enjoyed success through the 1960s.
