"Keys Me"

Alyssa was entangled in a internet meme in the Summer of 2006 due to a appearance on a television variety show. In June 2006, Alano performed the song "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None the Richer on an episode of GMA Network's late night show "Master Showman Presents." Alano sang the English song in a heartfelt, cheerful way, but with a heavy Tagalog accent, which was then mocked in a mondegreened video posted on YouTube posted by calimanok. The video contains subtitles, containing such mondegreens as "Keys Me". Toward the end of the month, the clip had been viewed over 500,000 times.

Apparently, Alano had no idea that her YouTube video became an Internet meme until it was shown to her during an interview on the show "Chika Minute".

Interestingly, Alano has been a good sport in her reactions to the sudden popularity of her singing video, even publicly thanking the anonymous prankster who created the clip, saying it got her a lot of attention/publicity, and that it has truly helped her showbiz career take off.
