“Wheel of Musical Impressions” is one of the most popular recurring games in The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon history — and back in September 2014, Adam Levine was the very first player.
After explaining how the game worked, Jimmy Fallon invited The Voice Coach to spin the wheel first. Levine landed on Frank Sinatra singing “Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes.” We all know the Maroon 5 frontman has “Moves Like Jagger,” but it turns out he also has a perfect impression of Ol’ Blue Eyes, which he flaunted as he crooned the children’s song.

After Fallon’s turn, tasked with covering “Rude” by MAGIC! while singing like Bob Dylan, Levine’s second number was the Sesame Street theme song, performed by Michael Jackson. Even after a delayed start, Levine thrilled Fallon and the audience with his impeccable impression of the King of Pop.
“I couldn’t find the key… that was rough, man,” said Levine after finishing his Jackson jam.

The Tonight Show Host followed with a “Fancy” version of “Old MacDonald Had a Farm,” in which he sang the nursery rhyme like Australian rapper Iggy Azalea. The final round belonged to Levine, who had to perform “The Muffin Man” as Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam. Fallon couldn’t help but join in as they both wailed in their best ’90s grunge rock voices.
Levine’s segment instantly set the bar quite high for future challengers like Ariana Grande, Christina Aguilera, Jamie Foxx, and more. In April 2024, Levine returned to The Tonight Show to spin the wheel once again, channeling singers like Bruce Springsteen and Dave Matthews to sing more classic nursery rhymes.
