Cansei de Ser Sexy - literally translated as "tired of being sexy" - is a Brazilian 6-piece made up of club DJs who happen to know how to play instruments. The lead vocalist goes by the name Lovefoxx, so they can't be all that tired of being sexy.
They have had some moderate success in this country, largely on the strength of a song that has a salacious title that no one knows but, thanks to Apple, everyone has heard. Thanks to Apple and this fantastically entertaining band, this song ranks among my top 10 favorites of all time.

Yes, there is some Portuguese at the end of the song. So, international.
This song would have been relegated to club hit if not for a man named Nick Haley, who entered a contest to make an iPod Touch commercial. And used this song. He won the contest, and Apple used the commercial.
To be fair, Nick Haley probably heard the song in this Zune commercial, which came a year earlier.
