Notable appearances

"Keys Me"

During an appearance on GMA Network's late-night show Master Showman Presents in June 2006, Alano performed a cover of the song "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None the Richer. The performance became an Internet meme after a YouTube user, "calimanok", uploaded a mondegreened version of the performance with subtitles, with karaoke subtitles of her accented lyrics, which among other things, rendered the title of the song as "Keys Me."[4]

Alano did not know that her YouTube video had become an Internet meme until it was shown to her during an interview on 24 Oras' "Chika Minute" segment. After discovering the video, she reacted positively, and credited the video for her growing popularity.[5]
