Actor Idris Elba and Jimmy Fallon played one of The Tonight Show's new staple games, Box of Microphones and the result was pure and utter hilarity.
Elba picked the first card for a song and got "Panda" by Desiigner. He chose a microphone and performed "Panda" while sounding like a chipmunk.
Fallon took his turn and had to sing "One Dance" by Drake. It was a slow voice and not quite as impactful as Elba's "Panda."
Elba and Fallon had to participate in a duet where every line would be a vocal effect. They chose "Endless Love" by Lionel Richie, a classic track.
Elba and Fallon had an auto tuned vocal for the first couple of lines, before the monstrous vocals that followed. Things ended off with the chipmunk vocal that would have made Alvin and his brothers pretty proud.
During his visit, Elba also showed off some of his dance moves. After a little coaxing from Fallon and some music from the roots, Elba gave the show a little of his fancy footwork.
Elba is still DJing and he plays house music.
The biggest gig he ever DJed was Glastonbury in England. You can watch Idris Elba play Box of Microphones on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and show off his dance moves in the videos below.
