*Feo*, or *Ugly* in English, is a story and song, as well as the final video in the Víctor Trilogy. It is preceded by "Guapo" and "La Confesión de Víctor".

In this song, it has been a long time since Víctor has had any popularity due to him now being bald and (as all the others say) ugly. Víctor resolves to find a way to become handsome once again, even despite all the setbacks on his quest.

However, everyone else says to Víctor that his quest is impossible to succeed in, as there is no such thing as a fountain of youth. Nevertheless, Víctor still has his goal clearly set.

This also marks the debut of Feona (Sarah Breckley).

This song emphasizes physical characteristics, but uses all tenses: imperfect ("era"), present ("ser"), and future ("sere"). Sr. Wooly noted in a vlog that common structures repeated throughout the song are "aunque" (although), "no me rindo" (I don't give up), and "sere" (I will be).

## Plot

The camera first focuses on Sr. Wooly's garage, where Victor lives, showcasing himself as a poor person as he lives with his parents outside of their house. Victor is then seen putting old socks, glasses, and baggy clothes. He then looks at a stand with multiple pictures of Victor's past, including the most popular photo of him from Guapo (2009). He then regrets his new, ugly, and bald look in a mirror that says "llevas anteojos" and "eres calvo", both of which Victor doesn't like. He then goes outside to collect the mail, and receives a note that invites him to a party with two women (most likely the ones from the previous stories about Victor). He then tries to make his look better by shaving his face, trying on new pants that aren't too small for him, and using weights to exercise for the first time in ten years. He then goes to the gym where he sees other actors as well as Feona. He rips off a poster that said "tú no eres guapo; eres feo", while throwing out his glasses at the same time. Later, Victor returns back into his garage, questioning his present lifestyle. He tries getting a job, but the employers don't accept those who are bald. He then receives a gift from Feona and visits her house. He then removes his glasses and gets contacts instead. He then puts on his Guapo wig again and performs the chorus of this song to an audience of many women, tossing around balloons. However, he becomes sad again because some women think he can't be handsome again after his wig falls off, and he thus gets thrown out of the party, while other people walk around him. In the end, though, he gets a gift from his parents and marries Feona. After Victor marries Feona they then buy a shop.

## Lyrics

* Spanish
* English

Me llamo Víctor.
¿Me reconocen?
Hace mucho tiempo, era guapo.
Mi vida era perfecta.
Hasta que me quedé calvo.
Me llamo Víctor.
La vida se me ha pasado.
Cada día soy mas viejo.
Pero muy rara vez llege una oportunidad para empezar de nuevo.

Aunque he perdido casi todo el pelo,
y el pelo que me queda se me ha puesto canoso,
rechazo la idea de ser feo.
No me rindo. ¡No me rindo!
Aunque los pantalones me quedan pequeños
y no hecho ejercicio en mas de diez años,
rechazo la idea de ser feo.
No me rindo. ¡No me rindo!

¡Seré guapo de nuevo! ¡de nuevo! ¡de nuevo!
¡Seré guapo de nuevo! ¡de nuevo! ¡de nuevo!
Rechazo la idea de ser feo.
No me rindo. ¡No me rindo!
Seré guapo. ¡Sere guapo de nuevo!

Me llamo Víctor.
Que tontería.
Lo pasado, pasado está.
¿En qué estaba pensando?
No tengo ni pelo ni trabajo.
Me llamo Víctor.
Nadie me acepta.
Todo el mundo me ve feo.
Para muy rara vez, llega una oportunidad para empezar de nuevo.

Aunque he perdido casi todo el pelo,
y el pelo que me queda se me ha puesto canoso,
rechazo la idea de ser feo.
No me rindo. ¡No me rindo!
Aunque los pantalones me quedan pequeños
y no hecho ejercicio en mas de diez años,
rechazo la idea de ser feo.
No me rindo. ¡No me rindo!

¡Seré guapo de nuevo! ¡de nuevo! ¡de nuevo!
¡Seré guapo de nuevo! ¡de nuevo! ¡de nuevo!
Rechazo la idea de ser feo.
No me rindo. ¡No me rindo!
Seré guapo. ¡Sere guapo de nuevo!

O Víctor, ¿que estás haciendo?
No existe la fuente de la juventud.
No puedes volver a ser guapo de nuevo.
O Víctor, ¿que estás haciendo?
No existe la fuente de la juventud.
No puedes volver a ser guapo.

Aunque he perdido casi todo el pelo,
y el pelo que me queda se me ha puesto canoso,
rechazo la idea de ser feo.
No me rindo. ¡No me rindo!
Aunque los pantalones me quedan pequeños
y no hecho ejercicio en mas de diez años,
rechazo la idea de ser feo.
No me rindo. ¡No me rindo!

¡Seré guapo de nuevo! ¡de nuevo! ¡de nuevo!
¡Seré guapo de nuevo! ¡de nuevo! ¡de nuevo!
Rechazo la idea de ser feo.
No me rindo. ¡No me rindo!
Seré guapo. ¡Seré guapo!
Seré guapo. ¡Seré guapo!
¡Seré guapo! ¡De nuevo!

My name is Víctor.
Do you recognize me?
A long time ago, I used to be handsome.
My life was perfect.
Until I went bald.
My name is Víctor.
Life has passed me by.
Each day I am a little older.
But once in a rare while, an opportunity arrives to begin again.

Although I have lost almost all of my hair
and the hair that remains is going gray.
I reject the idea of being ugly.
I'm not giving up. I'm not giving up!
Although my pants are too small
and I haven't exercised in more than ten years,
I reject the idea of being ugly.
I'm not giving up. I'm not giving up!

I will be handsome again! again! again!
I will be handsome again! again! again!
I reject the idea of being ugly.
I'm not giving up. I'm not giving up!
I will be handsome. I will be handsome again!

My name is Víctor.
How stupid.
The past is the past.
What was I thinking?

I don’t have hair nor a job.
My name is Víctor.
Nobody accepts me.
The whole world sees me as ugly.
But once in a rare while, an opportunity arrives to begin again.

Although I have lost almost all of my hair
and the hair that remains is going gray.
I reject the idea of being ugly.
I'm not giving up. I'm not giving up!
Although my pants are too small
and I haven't exercised in more than ten years,
I reject the idea of being ugly.
I'm not giving up. I'm not giving up!

I will be handsome again! again! again!
I will be handsome again! again! again!
I reject the idea of being ugly.
I'm not giving up. I'm not giving up!
I will be handsome. I will be handsome again!

Oh Víctor, what are you doing?
The fountain of youth does not exist.
You can’t return to being handsome again.
Oh Víctor, what are you doing?
The fountain of youth does not exist.
You can’t return to being handsome.

Although I have lost almost all of my hair
and the hair that remains is going gray.
I reject the idea of being ugly.
I'm not giving up. I'm not giving up!
Although my pants are too small
and I haven't exercised in more than ten years,
I reject the idea of being ugly.
I'm not giving up. I'm not giving up!

I will be handsome again! again! again!
I will be handsome again! again! again!
I reject the idea of being ugly.
I'm not giving up. I'm not giving up!
I will be handsome. I will be handsome!
I will be handsome. I will be handsome!
I will be handsome! Again!

## Trivia

* The banner for this song is the direct antithesis of Guapo's banner, as both show Víctor with his head just out of the shot standing beside the title.
* This song was released for Wooly Week 2017.
* This video and Sé Chévere are the only two music videos where Sr. Wooly has a beard.
* The two women in this video are played by different people (Katie K. and Azra H.), in contrast to the actors who played the women in the songs "Guapo" and "La Confesion de Víctor"
* The poster "tú no eres guapo; eres feo" gives a reference to the same-worded line in Guapo. This poster was one of the prop-prizes for the Wooly raffle.
* Victor seems to take the appearance of the man he was insulting in Guapo
* Feona's name may be a pun because although it is a real name, it may be referencing how both she and Víctor are ugly (In Spanish "**Feo,"** the title of the song and the first part of her name) in the eyes of society.
