The band name is Portuguese for “Tired of Being Sexy” (taken from something Beyoncé once commented to the press: “I am tired of being sexy”).
The members are: Lovefoxxx (vocals), Adriano Cintra (drums, guitar, vocals and production), Luiza Sá (guitar, drums and keys), Ana Rezende (guitar and harmonica), Iracema Trevisan (bass) and Carolina Parra (guitar and drums).
In an interview, guitarist/harmonica player Ana Rezende explains the band's name: "[...] we heard that Beyoncé had said that she was really tired of being sexy, which is a really retarded thing to say. It's like saying, "Oh, I'm tired of being rich." So "tired of being sexy" in Portuguese is cansei de ser sexy, so we put it on the flyer to promote the show that we were playing and we kind of got stuck with that name. It was just the stupidest name that we could have ever come up with, but it's funny and I love it. But sometimes people think that we're serious and we're tired of being recognized for our bodies or something like that, and it's nothing like that at all.."
CSS owes a lot of its success to word-of-mouth promotion on the internet, starting with the Trama Virtual website, a kind of Brazilian MySpace. A live performance in 2004 at Tim Festival on the same stage as 2 Many DJs and Kraftwerk increased their fanbase.
In 2005, they signed with Trama Virtual and in October of the same year their first album was released in Brazil.
At the beginning of 2006, CSS signed with Sub Pop to release their first international album and in July they made a thirty-gig tour through USA and Canada along with DJ Diplo and Bonde do Rolê.
The live performance CSS offers is uniquely energetic and entertaining. Lovefoxxx dodges among her bandmates and involves the audience in virtually every song. Sá, Cintra, and Parra switch instruments so often it's easy to forget where they started.
Tours of the US and Europe with Ladytron and Basement Jaxx in 2006 were followed by gigs in Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
In 2007 18 year old student and Apple fan Nick Haley created a home made iPod Touch commercial by piecing together various clips found at apple.com and adding the fast paced and catchy CSS song "Music Is My Hot Hot Sex" as the soundtrack.
After uploading the home made commercial to YouTube Haley was contacted by Apple agency TBWA/Chiat/Day who was allowed to create a TV commercial based on his original spot, claiming instant fame for the CSS tune as well as for the user generated commercial.

Music Is My Hot Hot Sex
CSS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From all the junks the one I need more is music
From all the boys the one I take home is music
From all the ladies the one I kiss is music
Music is my boyfriend, music is my girlfriend
Music is my dead end, music?s my imaginary friend
Music is my brother, music is my great granddaughter
From all the **** the one I gotta buy is music
From all the jobs the one I choose is music
From all the drinks I get drunk off music
From all the ******* the one I wanna be is music
Music is my beach house, music is my hometown
Music is my king size bed, music?s where I meet my friends
Music is my hot hot bath, music is my hot hot sex
Music is my back rub, my music is where I'd like you to touch
Claro que sim, fui escoteira-mirim
Direto da escola, nao, nao ia cheirar cola
Nem basquete, pebolim
O que eu gosto nao e de graca, o que gosto nao e farsa
Tem guitarra, bateria, computador saindo som
Alguns dizem que mais alto que um furacao
Perto dele eu podia sentir
Saia de seu olho e chegava em mim
Sentada do seu lado eu queria encostar
Faria o tigela ate o sol raiar
Debaixo do lencol ele gemia em re bemol
Fiquei tensa mas tava tudo bem
Ele e fodao, mas eu sei que eu sou tambem
Ele e fodao, mas eu sei que eu sou tambem
Ele e fodao, mas eu sei que eu sou tambem
Ele e fodao, mas eu sei que eu sou tambem
Ele e fodao, mas eu sei que eu sou tambem

You know, I was a girl Scout once,
When I walked home from school, I didn't smell glue.
I didn't play basketball or table football,
What I don't like is not free, what I do is not fake.
Had a guitar, drums, computer sounds,
Some said it sounded louder than a hurricane.
Next to him, I felt,
It came to me from his eyes.
Sitting next to him, I wanted to get closer,
I was going to fuck him until the sun came up.
Under the sheet he was moaning in D flat major,
I was tense, but everything turned out well.
He's cool, but I'm cool, too.
He's cool, but I'm cool, too.
He's cool, but I'm cool, too.
He's cool, but I'm cool, too.
He's cool, but I'm cool, too.
He's cool, but I'm cool, too.(6 times)

@kaia16
still in love with this song! :) <3
@basiliska
this song randomly popped into my head earlier today, but the only lyrics i could remember were bits and pieces of the rap at the end and i don’t speak Portuguese so i couldn’t spell/translate them to search. i’ve been looking for hours to no avail, then i managed to remember that this was in an apple commercial at some point and thankfully found it that way. oh my god i want to cry
@matheuscervo892
Just put the lyrics in google translate hahaha
@basiliska
@Matheus Cervo well see the problem with not being able to speak words from a foreign language means i also can’t spell them.
@unloveableandre
the original commercial was create by a student, Apple loved it and used almost as the original
