Disney’s popular movie theme songs were turned into parodies by YouTube celebrity Mikey Bustos to showcase Filipinos and the Philippines’ islands as prime travel destinations.
The Filipino-Canadian vlogger and singer, known for his tongue-in-cheek comic depiction of Filipino cultural traits and donning multiple characters in his videos, stars in the following song parodies that would make any Filipino long for the familiar scenes and sights of the homeland.
Mikey Bustos, who has embraced his heritage and made the Philippines his home, made a parody of Beauty and the Beast’s “Belle” (Hometown) and retitled it “Barangay” with the lyrics telling the story of the character Michael’s getting his US Visa application approved and how his relatives and neighbors react to the news. The video was first released in 2016 coinciding with the release of a new Disney trailer for ‘Beauty & the Beast’. “Here is a Pinoy version of ‘Belle’ my favourite song in the movie. Mabuhay ang mga OFW!” says Bustos.
