"Dorito."
That isn't the lyric.
What you hear
"Dorito."
What's actually sung
"Despacito." Despacito — Luis Fonsi (2017)
Why the ear defaults
Non-Spanish speakers default to the nearest English-adjacent four-syllable word. "Dorito" has a near-identical stress pattern; the song's global reach produced this nickname in most anglophone markets.
