"Cansei de Ser Sexy" is the name of the first international release by the group Cansei de Ser Sexy. It was released on July 11, 2006 on the Sub Pop label, and re-released in early 2007 by Warner. The album received mainly positive reviews (it was featured in UNCUT's list of the 50 best records of 2006 at position #18, NME's list of the 50 best records of 2006 at position #5 and Q's list of the 100 best records of 2006 at position #89). Despite the reviews, it failed to chart in the USA. The tracks were selected from two previous Brazilian releases by the band: the EP "CSS SUXXX" and their first full-length album, also called "Cansei de Ser Sexy".

The song "Alala" and video for "Let's Make Love and Listen to Death From Above" have been included preloaded on the Zune multimedia player, released in November 2006. Fact|date=October 2007

The songs "Alala" and "Off The Hook" are featured in Forza Motorsport 2 and FIFA 08 respectively, videogames for the XBOX 360. [ [http://thexboxdomain.net/2007/05/04/forza-motorsport-2-achievements-and-soundtrack-revealed/ www.thexboxdomain.net] ]

The song "Music Is My Hot Hot Sex" was featured in a Zune advertisement in 2006 and an iPod touch advertisement in 2007.

The album won the 2007 PLUG Independent Music Award for Best Punk Album.
