Ok. I'm stupid. Who wants to explain the joke?
To anyone who doesn't want to watch videos, it's a reference to "Beauty and The Beast", specifically the intro where the entire town sings a song containing lines such as "look there she goes that girl is so peculiar, " "yes she's strange, no question" and "what a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle" (her name) the whole time she is walking around town, well within hearing distance.
Thanks. That's a better explanation than just mentioning that there is character with this name in some musical or movie.
It's about the song "Belle" from Beauty and the Beast.

So basically she was a furry with autism before the internet times
I'm guessing this is a reference to a musical, or musicals in general, where large groups of people spontaneously sing songs about how they're feeling and what they think.
Specifically the opening song from Disney's beauty and the beast.
