About Let's Make Love and Listen to Death from Above

"Let's Make Love and Listen to Death from Above" is the first international single by Brazilian band CSS, taken from their debut studio album, Cansei de Ser Sexy. Following its use in promotions for the TV series, Ugly Betty, the track was re-released in the United Kingdom. The title is a reference to Canadian band Death from Above 1979, as evidenced in the song's video where band members are shown wearing elephant masks (a reference to the "elephant heads" on the cover of Death From Above 1979's albums). The song's video was directed by Cat Solen and the track was later commercially released in several formats. It reached number 39 on the UK Singles Chart after it was re-issued in May 2007. However, it failed to chart anywhere else in the world, in spite of it being a live fan favourite. The B-side for "Let's Make Love and Listen to Death from Above" is the cut "Acho Um Pouco Bom" (roughly "I think it's a bit good", in Portuguese). The song was rated as the sixth best track of the year 2006 by the NME magazine and named the 299th best song of the 2000s by Pitchfork Media. In October 2011, NME placed it at number 94 on its list "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years". It was also used in trailers for the BBC Three series, Gavin & Stacey, for the TV advertising of the Chloé Fragrance, and on the Microsoft Zune music player as pre-loaded content.

Callin' me high on the telephone
Came by plane all alone
Spend the afternoon making a speech
Speech made you nervous that you couldn't eat
You came to show your mad love
You came to tell it's not enough
Come and erase me and take me with you
Kiss me I'm drunk, and don't worry it's true
I wanted to show me how mad is my love
Come and attack me it's not gonna hurt
Fight me, deny me if I fear when your close
Let's make love and listen death from above

Let's make love
Let's make love...
And listen death from above

You knew my ideas when they were in my head
They were my secret evening plans
Wine, then bed, then more, then again
Wine, then bad, then more, then again
Run run run, to make your heart shake
Kiss kiss kiss, will make this earth quake
I'm gonna get what I'm willin to take
This gotta worth the miles you made
Come back I'll warm you up
Make me breakfast, I'll make it up
You are so talented I'm in love
Let's make love and listen death from above

Let's make love
Let's make love...
And listen death from above

I'm back with a smack and I'm ready to attack
Stare at my lips and I see they were wet
I know how you're doing by looking at your pants
And this is how we call it a comeback...
And listen death from above

Screaming your name on the microphone
Going back home all alone
Listen to the tunes that you sent to me
Listen to them good company
I want to show my mad love
You have to know it's not enough
Come and complete me, stay here with me
This is all true, it's water I drink
I want you to show me how mad is your love
Come and attack me it's not gonna hurt
Fight me, deny me if I fear when you're close
Let's make love and listen death from above

Let's make love
Let's make love...
And listen death from above

Let's make love
Let's make love...
And listen death from above

Let's make love
Let's make love...
And listen death from above
