Re: Morrissey on George Lopez show
Sigh. Of course it's a joke. I think that whole part of the song is tongue-in-cheek. I also think it's annoying and condescending for some of us to say Moz is unduly ignorant of his ungrammatical faux-Spanish. He obviously knows it's not grammatical and that it isn't really Spanish.

Thing is he is actually singing "D I V I E R T E S" which IS a word - so your point is?

It's blatantly an incorrect attempt at the Spanish translation of "Don't make fun of daddy", I don't understand how people could think it was anything else

May I?
The proper Spanish translation of "don't make fun of daddy" would be "no te burlas de papi" (well, according to a combination of my OK Spanish and an online dictionary). "No te diviertes con papi" works too, it's just the pronunciation that he keeps getting wrong, but I think he knows that.

Re: Morrissey on George Lopez show
that's absolutely correct.
Just saying, ringorosso, that when he says "devertes" or "divertes", he's not saying it correctly. I'm not trying to be a pain, everybody knows by now I'm from South America and make mistakes, but he only uses a handful of Spanish words in his life and I know I would love it for someone to correct me.
I just think that some people will take offense of anything and jump to "defend" Morrissey like he's watching and will like them more for doing so.

It'd be "no te burles de papi".

Ah I see. The subjunctive/imperative then? Either that or wordreference gave me the wrong infinitive.

Thanks. I knew they were formed in a similar/the same way, but I wasn't quite sure.
Bingo. The second one.

Re: Morrissey on George Lopez show
I think people are forgetting what the song is called.
Daddy doesn't speak properly as something got stuck in his throat (a penis most likely) therefore his diction (pun intended) is not clear...hence the mispronounced word in the final refrain.
