Cansei de Ser Sexy (commonly known as CSS) is a band from São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2003.

The members are: Lovefoxxx (vocals), Luiza Sá (guitar, drums and keys), Ana Rezende (guitar and harmonica) and Carolina Parra (guitar and drums). Former members are Iracema Trevisan (bass) and Adriano Cintra (drums, guitar, vocals and production).

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.

by Cansei de Ser Sexy
A la la, a la la
Gimme 3 wishes
I wanna be that dirtyfinger and his six bitches
A la la, a la la
Gimme more 2
I wanna be in that crazy band or meuku
A la la, a la la
Would you be kind
Gimme one little more
And i'll be superfine
A la la, a la la
You're so cool
Can i be your friend?
I'll drive till the end
Cuz you know but you don't wanna
Cuz you want but you can't have it
Cuz you know but you don't wanna
Cuz you want but you can't have it
A la la, a la la
I'm so worried
I bought that posh clothing
But it still looks ugly
A la la, a la la
Am i stoopid?
I'm doing the talking
But i don't get nothing
A la la, a la la
Alguém me avisa
Quando é bom parar
De fazer a íntima
A la la, a la la
You're so cool
Can i be your friend?
I'll drive it till the end
Cuz you know but you don't wanna
Cuz you want but you can't have it
Cuz you know but you don't wanna
Cuz you want but you can't have it

Quem é moderno aí meu?
Quem é cool aí meu?
Eu sou!
Também sou hype!!!
I am very crazy
I am very hype and very fashion
I smoke cigarete and like electro
I am tic tic, and cut cut
My drugs and my drinks
My papi paga tudo pra mim
E no final do mês vou pra Berlim
Para ver o show do Fatboy Slim
I go to the night
Stay very crazy na baladinha
I go to the banheiro e snif coquinha
E depois eu tomo um ecstasisinho
I am very funny
I am very little pequititinha
Eu sou uma garota singelinha
Eu sou um bichinho de matar com pedra
Bichinho de matar com pedra
Eu sou, eu sou bichinho de matar com pedra
Eu sou um bichinho de matar com pedra (3x)
Eu sou um bichinho de matar com pedrinha
Eu sou, eu sou bichinho bem singelinho
Eu sou um bichinhozinho de matar com pedra
Eu sou bichinho bem singelinho
Eu sou, eu sou bichinho de pegar com dedinho
Eu sou mini mini mini littlezinho
Eu sou bichinho de bater com pedrinha
Tique tique tique
A tique li li li li li li li
mimimimimimi
