WATCH: Adam Levine As Michael Jackson Singing ‘Sesame Street’

Adam Levine just proved he’s more than just your fantasy Jewish boyfriend.

In an appearance on “The Tonight Show,” the “Voice” coach and Maroon 5 lead singer played a round of “Wheel of Musical Impressions” with Jimmy Fallon.

The rules are as follows: Each participant must impersonate a singer interpreting a random song (not from their repertoire} — think Frank Sinatra singing “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.”

Fallon’s Bob Dylan singing “Rude” almost won our hearts but Adam Levine really takes the prize with his impression of Michael Jackson belting out the “Sesame Street” theme song.

Since no words can adequately describe the performance, check out the segment for yourself:
